The Lord reigns!

1 Chronicles 16:26-31 – For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy are in his place. Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength! Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and come before him! Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth; yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved. Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice, and let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!”

Psalm 93:1 – 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.

Psalm 47:8 – God reigns over the nations; God sits on his holy throne.

Isaiah 52:7 – How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.”

Application:

• ·         The Lord reigns is the ultimate truth.
• ·         The Lord was seated on His holy throne in the Most Holy Place of the temple, where He took the reins of world rule into His hands.
• ·         The return of God’s people to Jerusalem emphasizes His sovereign rule over the world. God’s kingdom will come more fully at the second coming of Christ.
