Worship for Today: The great horrific and terrible day of the Lord.

The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing,
majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of
him in Psalm 46:10,

"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the
nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

We live in an age where God has allowed mankind to run rampant in
following his own sin nature. Mankind, having turned his back on God
in sin and rebellion, has gone his own way and has chosen an estranged
relationship with God, having rejected God's rightful place. All of
this has solidified God's judgment of mankind that is yet to come.

That day is coming. The Scriptures speak of the horrible "day of the
Lord." Isaiah 13:9; Ezekiel 30:3; Joel 1:15; 2:11; Amos 5:18;-20;
Obadiah 1:15; Zephaniah 1:7, 14; Malachi 4:1,5; Acts 2:20; 1
Thessalonians 5:2; 2 Peter 3:10. That day will be a day of gloom as
the world falls under God's judgment. On that day these words of Psalm
46:10 will be fulfilled. All mankind will be stilled. All mankind will
know that the Lord is God. God will be exalted among the nations and
in the earth. The judgment of God will not leave the earth in its
present configuration as mankind will no longer live in a "bubble",
not knowing, not seeing, not fearing God for who he is.

Woe to the man who is not prepared for the great horrific and terrible
day of the Lord!
