8/5/2012 The LORD reigns
The LORD reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores
rejoice. Psalm 97: 1
Almost daily and at times we are
careless, totally ignoring or forgetting the truths God has revealed in His
Word. WE take things for granted and move freely.
We are reminded in Psalm as,
"The Lord reigns; let the earth rejoice." Spurgeon calls this
statement, "The watchword of the Psalm".
Four psalms expresses - “The LORD reigns” – (Psalm 93, 96, 97, and 99). It
remind us that Lord is in control.
Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let them say among the
nations, "The LORD reigns!" 1 Chronicles 16:31
“How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good
news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who
say to Zion, "Your God reigns!" Isaiah 52:7
Remember that the God who reigns
is “armed with strength” -to convert all impossibilities into possibilities.
Everything can be made possible in His own time.
The LORD reigns, he is
robed in majesty; the LORD is robed in majesty and armed with strength; indeed,
the world is established, firm and secure. (Psalm 93:1).
‘who formed the mountains by your power, having
armed yourself with strength Psalm 65:6
His strength is so great that “the world is
firmly established; it cannot be moved” unless He moves it. When God moves it nothing
can stand erect over the earth.
He is not only a powerful God, He
is also a just God- giving justice for
the oppressed and poor. No malpractice or bribery can work to turnout the
justice.
“The LORD reigns.” The
world is firmly established, it cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples
with equity. Psalm 96:10.
God’s judgments are always correct, aligned in
line with what is right and just. He rewards the righteous and punishes the
wicked.
‘Let those who love the
LORD hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and
delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
Light shines on the righteous and joy on the upright in heart. Psalm
97:10-11.
Every human being, should “tremble” and “shake” before Him. We are
nothing in the sight of God ( despite of the fact God loves you).
The LORD reigns, let the
nations tremble; he sits enthroned between the cherubim, let the earth
shake. Psalm 99:1.
“The LORD reigns” is a superb truth that calms our mind in the chaos of
life. The God of the Universe reaches out to me (to you) in love and mercy makes
my heart miss a beat.
Praise the Lord.
Say it…
“Praise Your great and awesome name” Psalm 99:3.
God bless
