#The_floods_Rage
On Sunday I was meeting with a small group of
believers in KL. The service was led by a young man who read and exhorted us
from 93rd Psalm. I was blessed and comforted by the glorious truth set
forth: the LORD is sovereign and reigns firmly upon His everlasting throne
despite the fierce raging of the ungodly.
Psalm 93
1 The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with
majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself:
the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.
2 Thy throne is established of old: thou art
from everlasting.
3 The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the
floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
4 The LORD on high is mightier than the noise
of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
5 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness
becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.
The LORD reigns and is firmly established on
His everlasting throne even though the world rages fiercely like the mighty
waters of the raging floods. It was rightly pointed out and demonstrated that
the "floods... the noise of many waters... the mighty waves of the
sea" refers to the wicked.
Isaiah 57:20
But the wicked are like the troubled sea,
when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
(who is restless and raging, whose waters
cast up filth.)
Psalm 2:1
Why do the heathen rage, and the people
imagine a vain thing?
(raging like a fierce flood.)
Psalm 18:4
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the
floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
(the flood of the ungodly)
Psalm 69:1-2
Save me, O God; for the waters are come in
unto my soul. I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into
deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
Jude 1:13
Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their
own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for
ever.
Read again what the psalmist declares in
light of these raging floods:
"The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with
majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself:
the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved...Thy throne is
established of old: thou art from everlasting...The LORD on high is mightier
than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea. Thy
testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for
ever."
Ps 2:4
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:
the Lord shall have them in derision.
