Psalm 93 - God's Eternal Reign

Psalm 93
¹ The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty;
The Lord has clothed and girded Himself with strength;
Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved.
² Your throne is established from of old;
You are from everlasting.

³ The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
The floods have lifted up their voice,
The floods lift up their pounding waves.
⁴ More than the sounds of many waters,
Than the mighty breakers of the sea,
The Lord on high is mighty.
⁵ Your testimonies are fully confirmed;
Holiness befits Your house,
O Lord, forevermore.

Message: God's Eternal Reign

Time: The psalms were written by many different people across a period of a thousand years in Israel's history. They are thought to have been compiled and put together in their present form by some unknown editor shortly after the captivity ended about 537 B.C.

What the Lord is Saying:

God's Reign or his royal office as king; his sovereign rule. The Lord God has embodied strength, fully clothed in it. God is our strength and so, therefore, our world is firmly established. God's throne is forever. He is eternal. His creation testified of who He is. He is Holy.

It is our calling to declare the goodness and majesty of is Creator. I'm sitting here, 2016, and hearing a TV in the background and wondering, are we in fact declaring our Creator's goodness. Do we pause to do this? Would our lives look any different, if it was 250 years ago? I wonder. We have conveniences today that seem to only distract us. But, still, am I declaring the goodness and majesty of the Lord.

Lord, I'm concerned that I let myself get distracted and I find myself thinking too much about pleasing me. My days praising You are really rather a few minutes here and there, at prescribed moments, along with others. Help me to encounter your greatness more.
Here are Matthew Henry's words on this chapter:
The majesty, power, and holiness of Christ's kingdom. - The Lord might have displayed only his justice, holiness, and awful power, in his dealings with fallen men; but he has been pleased to display the riches of his mercy, and the power of his renewing grace. In this great work, the Father has given all power to his Son, the Lord from heaven, who has made atonement for our sins. He not only can pardon, but deliver and protect all who trust in him. His word is past, and all the saints may rely upon it. Whatever was foretold concerning the kingdom of the Messiah, must be fulfilled in due time. All his people ought to be very strictly pure. God's church is his house; it is a holy house, cleansed from sin, and employed in his service. Where there is purity, there shall be peace. Let all carefully look if this kingdom is set up in their hearts.

Promise: We need to keep revering God's name.
