God has gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet. Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises. For God is the king of all the earth; sing praises with a psalm. (Psalm 47: 5-7)
In the psalms God is palpably present. God roams the earth, joins in battle, counsels, defends, and disciplines. God rules.
In today's Gospel reading Jesus announces "The time is fulfilled, the Kingdom of God is at hand." (Mark 1: 15) In the life of Jesus God was always close at hand.
God is also with us today. But we often fail to acknowledge the presence - much less the rule - of God.
