day no. 16,642: the world must remove its shoes in His presence

Psalm 82:8

Arise, O God, judge the earth:

for thou shalt inherit all nations.

All nations. None escape Christ's claim. There is not a single one that He declines. He will judge the nations according to His Word and refine them by His gracious fire. Any atom of vainglory will be burned up that any atom of grace may remain: purified, perfected, and appropriated into Christ's Kingdom. The entire earth owes Him honor. The whole world must remove its shoes in His presence, stand at His entrance, fall before His feet, and stand up at His command.
