Psalm 93:1-5 (ESV)
1 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.
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 roaring.
4 Mightier than the thunders of many waters, mightier than the waves of the sea, the LORD on high is mighty!
5 Your decrees are very trustworthy; holiness befits your house, O LORD, forevermore.
Observation:
The verse that leaps off the page, and into my heart today is this one from our focal passage.
Psalm 93:3 (ESV)
3 The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their roaring.
It is impossible to avoid the storms of life while living in this fallen world. It's not a matter of if we will face a storm; it's a matter when. We have either been though a storm, we are currently in a storm, or there will be a storm in our future.
There are two promises in this Psalm that I want to draw your attention to; they will provide a shelter in the time of your storm; past, present or future.
The first promise is God's throne. No matter what you face in life, you can know that the Lord reigns, and He is clothed with majesty and strength.
Psalm 93:2 (ESV)
2 Your throne is established from of old; you are from everlasting.
The second promise is the testimonies of God are true, and He is forever faithful; God never fails to keep His promises.
Psalm 93:5 (ESV)
5 Your decrees are very trustworthy; holiness befits your house, O LORD, forevermore.
You can cling to the testimonies of the Word of God, and find safety and security in the midst of the storms of life.
Psalm 119:31 (HCSB)
31 I cling to Your decrees; LORD, do not put me to shame.
Prayer:
Father, I exalt You, and give You all the praise, honor, and glory that You alone deserve.
Father, I am so grateful that You are a shelter in the midst of our storm tossed lives, and that we have a sure foundation to build our lives upon.
Father, I am so grateful that with my eyes of faith, I can say that I am not ashamed to call upon Your name, and I know that You will never let Your children down. In the mighty arms of Jesus we rest in perfect peace, and in His name we pray, Amen.
Ephesians 6:10-11 (ESV)
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
