"Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King."
Psalms 149:2
I like the idea here of celebrating God as our creator and king... to be happy, knowing that the person leading us is good. It's a good thing to imagine in a world where most of the choices we have for leaders leave a lot to be desired... a good leader who has our best interests in mind and who will keep his promises and do whatever he says he will... seems pretty miraculous even before considering the whole all-powerful aspect. :)
It's also hard sometimes to trust authority figures with our society of less than stellar examples. But that is also exactly the reason that rejoicing is a good idea... because God is different, and better, and trustworthy and good in a way no one else is. He made the rules, and the whole world, and all of us, and yet he reaches out to each of us personally and loves us individually. Today, let's rejoice in that. :)
