The Lord reigneth!

'The Lord reigneth!'

— Psalm 93:1

I worship the one true and living God; I worship the God who is sovereign. I worship that God who reveals himself in the pages of Holy Scripture. Who is your God? Do you worship the true and living God or do you worship some religious idol that men call god? He who is God is totally sovereign in all things!

What do we mean when we declare that God is sovereign? Why, we mean that God is God. God is in control, ruling and governing all things exactly according to his own eternal intention. To declare that God is sovereign is to declare he is almighty, the possessor of all power in heaven and earth, so that none can defeat his counsels, thwart his purpose, or resist his will (Psa. 115:3). To say that God is sovereign is to declare that he is ‘the governor among nations’ Psa. 22:28). He raises up kings and kingdoms, overturns kings and kingdoms and determines the course and destiny of all things as it pleases him. To declare that God is sovereign is to declare that he is the ‘only potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords’ (1 Tim. 6:15). This, my friend, is the God of the Bible. This is the one true and living God of heaven and earth.

I bow to a sovereign God. I dare not argue with him, dispute his claims, or try to bargain with him. I bow before his throne as the undisputed, sovereign King of the universe. I worship a sovereign God. I dare not think of him lightly or take his name in vain. I trust my soul into the hands of a sovereign God. I hope in the mercy of a sovereign God. My God is God. Is he your God?
