A Perfect Heart

This morning before the sun is even up, I am reminded of the Lord’s majesty and His power.

As I sat having my coffee and prayer time the elk began to bugle in the meadow just across the drive. I look forward to hearing them calling for a mate this time of year. Yesterday, we were traveling home along a dirt road when we saw a bull elk and his harem in the open meadow. There were five cows and their calves and this bull.

I didn’t have my good camera with me and the pictures I took on my phone didn’t do them justice, so I have no images to share with you. But when I heard his bugling again this morning my thought was “what a majestic animal he is”.

Majestic!

How silly to consider an animal majestic.

And then there were the thoughts of the pomp and circumstance we just viewed as the world honored Queen Elizabeth. What a great woman! She ruled with class and dignity, she ruled with godliness. The tribute paid to her life was truly majestic.

Majestic: having or showing impressive beauty or dignity.

Years ago a song was written by two wonderful Christians, Reba Rambo and Dony McGuire, it was titled “A Perfect Heart”. Here are just a few lines of the chorus:

“Bless the Lord who reigns in beauty;
Bless the Lord who reigns with wisdom and with power.
Bless the Lord who fills my life with so much love,
He can make a perfect heart.”

There is really only One who can wear the title of “His Majesty”, only one who is truly majestic.

“Our Lord, you are King!
Majesty and power
    are your royal robes.
You put the world in place,
    and it will never be moved.
You have always ruled,
    and you are eternal.

The ocean is roaring, Lord!
    The sea is pounding hard.
Its mighty waves are majestic,
but you are even more majestic,
    and you rule over all.
Your decisions are firm,
and your temple will always
    be beautiful and holy.” Psalm 93 CEV

This morning I ask you to take time to honor and worship the One who is “even more majestic, the One who rules over all”.

He is not only the One who rules over all but He is our loving heavenly Father and this morning, like all mornings, He deserves our praise and admiration, our love and our heart’s devotion.

Let’s worship Him with a perfect heart!
