“The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.” The Lord reigneth. This is the Gospel’s note. it is a truth prolific of holy joy. All events obey His sceptre. In every circumstance, therefore, joy should wave its tranquil wand throughout the heart. Every occurrence should whisper, It is the Lord: let Him do what seemeth Him good. Events may sometimes show a frowning aspect, but happy believers receive them as blessings in foreign guise.
