The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, and majestic in his radiant splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him today and what came to my heart and mind in Revelation 15:3-4,

"Great and marvelous are your deeds,
Lord God Almighty.
Just and true are your ways,
King of the ages.
Who will not fear you, O Lord,
and bring glory to your name?
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship before you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed."
This song of Moses (and Jesus), sung by believers in heaven, acknowledges something very important to me given the world we live in today, "Just and true are your ways, King of the ages."
Today's world is running amuck. The powers that be are motivated by a less than honorable and honest agenda, justice seems to have gone awry, that which is good and appropriate has been replaced with that which is perverse, unholy and ungodly. Quality of character has been exchanged for the selfish pursuit of power and wealth.
There doesn't seem to be an anchor to cling to, anywhere to hang your hat on for that which is upstanding and right. But I am reminded here that the Lord God Almighty is coming. He is King of the ages and "just and true" are his ways. His way is the only way that will be enduring. His ways are what is coming.

As the Lord tarries, providing opportunity for more folks to turn to him, to join his kingdom, we look forward to, longingly, for that time when all creation will again be bowing the knee to him. "Who will not fear you, O Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed."
