Psalm 20 (con't) Because He Died-He Will Rule All Nations

Psalm 20
"I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters. I will praise you among your assembled people. Praise the LORD, all you who fear him! Honor him, all you descendants of Jacob! Show him reverence, all you descendants of Israel! For he has not ignored or belittled the suffering of the needy. He has not turned his back on them, but has listened to their cries for help.I will praise you in the great assembly. I will fulfill my vows in the presence of those who worship you.The poor will eat and be satisfied. All who seek the LORD will praise him. Their hearts will rejoice with everlasting joy. The whole earth will acknowledge the LORD and return to him. All the families of the nations will bow down before him. For royal power belongs to the LORD. He rules all the nations. Let the rich of the earth feast and worship. Bow before him, all who are mortal, all whose lives will end as dust. Our children will also serve him. Future generations will hear about the wonders of the Lord.  His righteous acts will be told to those not yet born. They will hear about everything he has done."

     Dear Lord!  Because the first part of this psalm happened, now the last part can and will happen.  How can I thank You enough for your lovingkindness and mercy!  We who love You will have an eternity with You and all of our trials will be over.  All of the oppressed Christians and little children in the world, in North Korea, Syria, China,and in the Islamic countries, all of the persecuted, tortured, and abused will be so no more!  Hallelujah!  On that day ALL of the earth will bow the knee to You and acknowledge You as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  How much better to do that now than on the last day, for the ending is far more favorable.
