Thought for the day:

The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad;
    let the distant shores rejoice.
Clouds and thick darkness surround Him;
    righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
Fire goes before Him
    and consumes His foes on every side.
His lightning lights up the world;
    the earth sees and trembles.
The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,
    before the Lord of all the earth.
The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
    and all peoples see his glory.
Psalm 97:1-6
