OUR GOD IS MIGHTIER

Psalm 93:1-4 ESV

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!

On Palm Sunday we remember Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, riding on a donkey but now we see Him triumphant, crowned King of Kings seated on the throne in Heaven!

The Lord reigns! The Lord is mighty! How reassuring that is in the middle of all we hear and see going on in the world. How important it is to keep our eyes on the Lord and on what He has declared in His word because we know His word is truth and it is incorruptible.

Verse 1 says, “he has put on strength as His belt” which reminded me we are to put on the belt of truth, His truth, and if we’ll keep that belt in place then we will be kept safe in Him.😊

Those times when situations seem to pile up like the waves of the sea, when we hear the voices of the flood roaring, we can come back to these verses again “Mightier than the thunders of many waters…the Lord on high is mighty.”  

We can have the peace that Jesus promised us in the midst of the turmoil, when we know our God is mightier than anything that is going on, either in our own lives, or on the world stage. 

We can worship the Lord our God who reigns forevermore and see Him high and lifted up today, robed in majesty, girded with strength and power, and remember He has declared the world is established, that it shall not be moved. 

We have a glorious King, so we can give all the glory to God, to the Mighty One, to the Lord who reigns, but who loves each one of us with an everlasting love.😊 

Thank You Lord. Amen.

BIGGER THAN THAT

Psalm 18:29 NLT 29 In your strength I can crush an army; with my God I can scale any wall.

I expect we’ve all been faced with situations and decisions that can seem overwhelming and we may want to shrink back or not want to deal with things head on. But then the Lord reminds us that we have the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Greater One on the inside and He is more than enough to deal with any person or situation we have to deal with.

It all ties in with remembering who we are, in keeping the overcoming attitude in our minds all the time, and not allowing fear or defeat or inadequacy to gain the upper hand. On our own we can’t do it but with His Spirit we can!😊

It’s about remembering we are a child of the Most High God and nothing is impossible for Him or with Him, and if He’s allowed us to be in the situation then He has promised the wherewithal to overcome it, not just put up with it!😊

God has placed His own Spirit within us so that with Him we know we are bigger than the enemy that tries to  block us, hurt us, intimidate or harm us. Jesus has already won the victory for us and He says with God on our side we can bring down giants, with God we are a majority, with God we can scale a wall regardless of whether it’s a wall of disease, finance or family matters!

Next time we have to sort something out, or face a tricky situation, let’s remember we’re not on our own doing life, we have the Holy Spirit who is our Counsellor, we have His wisdom to tap into, His angels ministering to help us, and God Himself is guiding us along the right path, and showing us what to do.

So don’t forget, with God on the inside you are bigger than the offence, bigger than the mistake, bigger than the trial or temptation, bigger than the challenge you’re facing. God is with you and has already gone ahead of you into your day. What a great thought!😊

Thank You Lord. Amen.

Have a blessed weekend.x 😊
