# 34 2020 Dev. Psalm 93:4 The Lord Reigns! Read all of Ps. 93. The purpose of these devotionals is to draw closer to God and grow spiritually by applying His Word to our daily living. All passages are taken from the NIV.
Psalm 93:4 “Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea—the Lord on high is mighty.”
Psalms 90 through 100 are a series of 11 Psalms that open and close with “Lord” (Adonai) or “the Lord” (Yahweh). Ps. 93 has two stanzas v.1-2 and v.3-4 with v.5 as the conclusion. The first stanza praises God’s Majesty: “the Lord is robed in Majesty and armed with strength.” This stanza tells us that God is in control since the beginning of creation: “you are from all eternity”.
The second stanza praises God for His strength: “Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea—the Lord on high is mighty”; This stanza tells us that God is all powerful.
The conclusion is about the law of God: “Your statutes Lord stand firm”, God is holy and God has no beginning and no end, His rule is from everlasting to everlasting. Praise be to God!
What do we take away from this short praise Psalm that comforts us today?We worry about our country right now; is democracy at risk, is our freedom at risk, is law enforcement at risk, what about our lively-hoods and our health, our families, our religious freedom and are we able to live in freedom and security in every area of this land? Everyone is asking these questions; in the cities and in the rural areas and even the country side, no one feels safe.
The answer is in this Psalm: God is in control, our God reigns, nothing will happen that God does not control, He is almighty and has ordained what will happen over the next three months, what will happen next year, and the year after that, and what will happen forever. Yet, we are responsible for our actions and will be judged accordingly. Followers of Jesus, stay awake!
God is not in space or time, but He is very concerned for His people, for His church, for His program of calling all people back to Himself and for justice in this world. We as followers of Jesus need to get onboard with God’s program, stop worrying about the future, keep working. God has us in His hands and God controls what will happen and what is good for His people. Our God reigns, praise be to Him!
