Exalted Holy One, the foundation of Your throne is righteousness and justice. Whatever transpires here in the land of the living, You are still on Your throne. You remain in control. You are our certainty and anchor. The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting. You are our eternal hope. Be glorified in our daily thoughts and rhythms. We pray in the name above all names, Jesus, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.
“Righteous are You, O LORD, And upright are Your judgments. Your testimonies, which You have commanded, Are righteous and very faithful. My zeal has consumed me, Because my enemies have forgotten Your words. Your word is very pure; Therefore Your servant loves it. I am small and despised, Yet I do not forget Your precepts. Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And Your law is truth. Trouble and anguish have overtaken me, Yet Your commandments are my delights. The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting; Give me understanding, and I shall live.” (Psalms 119: 137-144 NKJV)
