Psalm 93-2.1.22

Scripture

Psalm 93

1 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.

2 Your throne was established long ago; you are from all eternity.

3 The seas have lifted up, LORD, the seas have lifted up their voice; the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.

4 Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea—the LORD on high is mighty.

5 Your statutes, LORD, stand firm; holiness adorns your house for endless days.

Observation-What does it say?

This short psalm emphasizes three major points: God reigns, He is greater than our circumstances, and He always keeps His word. (Warren Wiersbe BE Bible Study Series)

Understanding-What does it mean?

Raging seas and pounding waves – the Bible uses these terms to describe struggles and hardship. What should we do when the storms are raging around us?

“When the tempest is around us, we look by faith to the throne of grace above us and the Word of God before us. The truth about what is going on in this world is not in the newspapers but in the Scriptures.” Amen!!

I heard a great, new song at Worship Wednesday this week that keeps playing in my head (Firm Foundation - you can listen here: https://youtu.be/uOP4s8fOEm0).

“Rain came, winds blew, but my house was built on You.”

Are we building our house on the firm foundation of God’s word? So we have somewhere to run to when the winds blow? Are we putting our faith in the God who is mightier than the thunder of the great waters? “Do not focus on the threats around you; focus on the throne above you.”

Life Application

Almighty God, you reign. You are clothed in majesty and strength. Your statutes stand firm. You are my firm foundation, the rock on which I stand!
