Hear ye, hear ye...

Psalm 47

The Lord God, He reigns! God is king over all the earth! There is no square inch of all that is physical (and spiritual for that matter) that God is not sovereign over. But, more specifically, He governs in the affairs of men. He has absolute charge over the people of this world. Yet, He is not a king like those of old - wretched, feared, dangerous. For, He rules not just with authority only, but with love, patience and kindness. He is no tyrant! He does not order his subjects with fear of punishment and pain. No! He goes before His people - He is the Lord, mighty in battle, strong to deliver. He offers peace to His people; care and delight. He is the great protector; the great example of true kingship!

All this and more is our God, our King! Thus, we should rejoice! We should sing and clap and dance and make merry in our God, our King! He reigns both now and forevermore. He sits on an eternal throne in an eternal kingdom and is, even now, gathering to Himself an eternal people. For that reason, He has chosen us; He has rescued us; He is subduing our enemies; He is preparing us and making us ready for His return.

So... rejoice in our King, He is our everything!!!



For His Kingdom...
