The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him and what came to my heart and mind in Psalm 93:1-2,
"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. Your throne was established long ago; you are from all eternity."
Just following these verses the psalmist observes how the people of the earth have risen up in rebellion against their Creator, using the metaphor of turbulent seas. As is pointed to in the first two verses of the psalm quoted above, the throne of the Lord is established firm and secure. All mankind is no match against God's rule over his creation, and certainly poses no threat to it. God's transcendence is such that he even uses the rebellious outlook of mankind to his own purposes and ends.
No one is a match for God, even united together in the collective pursuit of mankind's rebellious ways. The practical implication of this thought causes me to think of Proverbs 21:30. There we read, "There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord."
How much wiser it is to join with the throne of God as he carries out his plans, his purposes, his agenda, his will! Why would we not want to align ourselves with the winning team? That thunderous sea of rebellious mankind will one day stand before God's judgment throne!
How happy I am that Jesus Christ has made a way for us to join with our Creator as he pursues his agenda!
Anything of the Lord capture your heart from Scripture today? Share what moved you about him from your Bible reading today. I'd love to hear from you!
If you have someone you would like to receive these ruminations, send me their email address. I'm happy to add them to the list. If you are receiving this and would like to be removed from the list, just reply and let me know.
