THE LORD GOD IS AWESOME AND HE REIGNS

Proclamation:
“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.”  Psalm 93:1 (NIV)

Explanation:
Although there is some debate about it, the words of this psalm appear to have been written by King David under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God.  It is the custom of the Jewish people to sing this song on the day before the Sabbath.  In some Bibles this psalm is entitled, ‘The kingdom of God.’  The Lord God has reigned and will reign from everlasting to everlasting, throughout all of eternity. (Psalm 93:2)  He is omnipotent and controls everything.  His majesty and strength know no limits or ends.  He established the world and everything therein. (Genesis 1:1-27)  He is clothed in majesty and honor. (Psalm 104:1-2)

Application:
God is omnipotent.  There is nothing that compares with the power of The Lord God.  After His resurrection, Jesus, The Christ, said, all power in heaven and in earth was given to Him. (Matthew 28:18)  In the beginning He spoke and created something out of nothing. (Genesis 1:1-3)  Before there was anything, God was. (John 1:1)  Everything that exists was made by Him. (John 1:3)  God is omniscient.  He knows everything about everything.  He knew each of us before we were even born. (Psalm 139:13 and 16)  “Great is The Lord, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable.” (Psalm 145:3)  “Let everything that has breath praise The Lord.  Praise The Lord.” (Psalm 150:6)  He is truly worthy to be praised.  As the song says, “Our God is an awesome God, He reigns …”
