Wednesday Word: Psalm 93

The LORD reigns; he is robed in majesty;
the LORD is robed; he has put on strength as his belt.
Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.
Your throne is established from of old;
you are from everlasting.
The floods have lifted up, O LORD,
the floods have lifted up their voice;
the floods lift up their roaring.
Mightier than the thunders of many waters,
mightier than the waves of the sea,
the LORD on high is mighty!
Your decrees are very trustworthy;
holiness befits your house,
O LORD, forevermore. 

 

The reminder in this Psalm is needed on a day like today - "The LORD reigns..."

Today is a day where unexpected challenges came my way. Today is a day where my plans for the next year have collapsed in front of me. Today is a day where I want to ask, "Why?"

Today is the day that I am reminded, "The LORD reigns..."

The words of this Psalm are a reminder that God is seated on his throne. Every trial, trouble, broken promise, and feeling of betrayal will never compare to the knowledge that God is seated on his throne. That he is "robed in majesty."

God is on his throne in his majesty. His majesty is greater than the floods that are crashing down and against the dry land. His majesty is greater than the winds that howl through the valleys with the force able to tear trees from their roots. His majesty is greater than the powerful torrent of flood waters that rise from a summer storm.

The LORD on high is mighty...

The promises of God are trustworthy. He will deliver on all that he has said he will do.

In the day of the unexpected...I cling to the only hope I know. I cling to the God of Psalm 93. The One who is greater than every power and force known to man. The One who is holy and on the throne. The One who will draw me through the pain.

The LORD reigns...forevermore.
