Psalm 22:25-31
22:25 From you comes my praise in the great congregation; my vows I will pay before those who fear him.
22:26 The poor shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek him shall praise the LORD. May your hearts live forever!
22:27 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD; and all the families of the nations shall worship before him.
22:28 For dominion belongs to the LORD, and he rules over the nations.
22:29 To him, indeed, shall all who sleep in the earth bow down; before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, and I shall live for him.
22:30 Posterity will serve him; future generations will be told about the Lord,
22:31 and proclaim his deliverance to a people yet unborn, saying that he has done it.
Psalm 22 is about a God who extends through both space and time.
Our God rules over every living thing on the earth – everywhere. Even on other worlds, if we can imagine it.
Our God has ruled over prehistoric times, all the years BC, all the years since the time of Jesus, the present, and the entirety of the future, to generations as yet unborn.
This God who has dominion over all space and throughout time, this God loves you.
Yep.
You. Me. Our pastors. Our supermarket checkers. Our great great grandfathers. We are all tenderly loved by the God of all time and space.
Today, take one full minute and just consider that.
Gracious God, Thank you for loving us. Thank you for being our God, the one that is everywhere and everywhen and always has been.  Amen.
