My name is D. Ray Davis, and I experienced terrible loss on February 18, 2019 when my wife died unexpectedly. It’s a story about lessons of hope learned on this long and difficult journey.
Dusty frames, wind-swept grass, or feeble as frail, the Lord does not remove his steadfast love. Stand firm upon this promise. His lavish love is from everlasting to everlasting.
I had to preach the gospel to myself. I had to remind myself to walk by faith and not by sight. I understand David’s assertion here. I longed to remove any perverse ways from my heart.
Psalm 99 delivers the message that the Lord reigns and instructs that we should tremble in response. It also delivers the message that God is enthroned and instructs that the earth should quake in response.
A scene of powerful reign is painted by the psalmist. God is framed by clouds and thick darkness. Mystery. However, under his throne is a firm foundation built of righteousness and justice.
