Psalm 48  "Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised." 

This psalm focuses on the City of God :

It is His holy mountain ( v1)
It is beautiful ( v2)
It is the "joy of the whole earth"
It is "the city of the great King"
It is where God "has made Himself known as a stronghold" (v3)
It amazed and terrified the kings that tried to come against it ( v4-5)
It is established forever by God.( v8)


The Name and character of God are made known in her:

His lovingkindness,
His righteousness,
His judgments,
His guidance
His eternal Presence.

"Let Thy Kingdom come"  Lord God!  Where Your reign is received there is holiness, joy, strength, faithfulness, lovingkindness, righteousness, mercy, and direction,  for You are Present.  May we fully accept  and take on the yoke of Your rule.  May Your will be done in every aspect of our lives today.  You are our Great King and loving Father.  Be exalted in our lives, in our homes, and in our world today we ask, in the Name of Jesus, Amen.
