King Over All

The Lord placed his throne in heaven; he is king over all. Praise the Lord, you strong and mighty angels, who obey his commands, who listen to what he says. Praise the Lord, all you heavenly powers, you servants of his, who do his will! Praise the Lord, all his creatures in all the places he rules. Praise the Lord, my soul! (Psalm 103:19-22 GNB)

Today's meditation:

• Praise is what the Lord deserves, and as his creatures, praise is what we offer him, for we owe him our lives. He marshals the hosts of heaven on our behalf. He commands and his creation obeys. He is king over all. Yes, praise the Lord! Oh my soul, praise the Lord!

Pray today:

• For the Commencement Ceremony today to be a crowning achievement for our faculty and staff who bring another class to completion, for our graduates to see today as a beginning, not an ending, for the Holy Spirit to guide them in the critical decisions they are making about futures and careers, for each of them to trust God with their lives, and no matter what struggles and successes are ahead, to love the Lord and serve him.
