“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.”
Psalm 93:1-5 ESV
We live in times when floods rage and roar. There are wars and rumors of wars. There are difficulties in our own lives, and we read of race tension and struggles around the world. Such things are not unique to our age perhaps every age has thought that it lived in both the best of times and worst of times. For by the same token, we also live in a time with unparalleled opportunity with the expansion of the Internet and the informational technology revolution. Whether we are feeling down in the dumps or up in the sky, we can take solace in the fact that God is in charge. The Lord reigns, He is the king, He is robed in majesty. He assures that everything that happens in this world happens according to His divine plan. The world is established; it shall never be moved. In fulfillment of this truth, Jesus Christ Himself stilled the raging storm with but a Word of command. In practice, then, it means we can live our lives in trust of what God says in the Bible. Your decrees are very trustworthy. And not only can we trust the Bible, we can trust God’s people, His house, His church. Holiness befits your house, O Lord, forevermore” Whatever we are going through today, however much the thunder of many waters may roar, remember then that God reigns. And trust His Word. And live your life in the context of His Will. What an amazing God we serve, and how wondrous and glorious that the true believer can rest safely in Him. We do not need to fear the terror by day or night, for at all times we are resting safely in His guidance and protection. Even when the days of adversity come, we know that God sends only what we need to grow us to become more and more like Him. And, He promises that when we go through the waters of adversity, He will go right along with us!!!
