The Lord on high is mightier

The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty; the Lord is robed, He has girded Himself with strength and power; the world also is established, that it cannot be moved.
Your throne is established from of old; You are from everlasting.
Psalm 93:1-2 AMP

The first truth - The Lord reigns. Do you really believe this? Does He only reign when things are going well? Or does He reign no matter what is going on? These first two verses of Psalm 93 are a declaration of who our Lord is:
He reigns
He is clothed with majesty
He has strength and power
He is the creator.
He is - always.

The Message Bible puts it this way,

GOD is King, robed and ruling
GOD is robed and surging with strength.
And yes, the world is firm, immovable,
Your throne ever firm - you're Eternal!
Psalm 93:1-2 The Message

Sometimes we can lose sight of who He is, the King, surging with strength, because of the 'floods' that come into our lives.

The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up the roaring of their waves. Psalm 93:3 AMP

Our perspective changes as we see and hear the roaring of the waves around us. Once again in our lives, we have a choice - focus on those waves, or look up. Look up and see someone who is mightier that those waves.

The Lord on high is mightier and more glorious than the noise of many waters, yes, than the mighty breakers and waves of the sea. Psalm 93:4 AMP

I have had the literal experience of these roaring waves off the coast of Sydney. The relentless crashing of waves all around us - completely surrounding us for hours upon hours with no 'let up' in sight. There was only one thing we could do - call out to God - hours upon hours of singing (actually yelling) the words from Shout to the Lord,

'Shout to the Lord, all the earth, let us sing
Power and majesty, praise to the King
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of your name.

Eight hours later we literally surfed in through the Sydney heads. The King had bought us through. The Lord showed that He was mightier and more glorious than the noise of many waters, than the mighty breakers and waves of the sea - in a very literal way. We were not one of those devastating 'drowned at sea' statistics. A testimony of His strength and power.

Your testimonies are very sure; holiness [apparent in separation from sin, with simple trust and hearty obedience] is becoming to Your house, O Lord, forever. Psalm 93:5 AMP

Question for today, are there floods and roaring waves in your life? They may not be the literal kind, like we experienced. They may be metaphors for other circumstances that appear to be relentless in your life. Be encouraged, our God is greater. He is stronger. He is the King.

Therefore David blessed the Lord before all the assembly and said, Be praised, adored and thanked, O Lord, the God of Israel our [forefather] forever and ever. 

Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and the earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and Yours it is to be exalted as Head over all.

Both riches and honour come from You, and You reign over all. In Your hands are power and might; in Your hands it is to make great and to give strength to all. 

Now therefore, our God, we thank You and praise Your glorious name and those attributes which that name denotes.

1 Chronicles 29:10-13 AMP
