Psalm 47 - 9.29.25

Scripture

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭47‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne.”

Observation

This is a psalm written by the descendants of Korah, celebrating God as King, not only over all of Israel, but over ALL the earth. The psalm encourages all to give praise and glory to God by putting their hands together, and shouting for joy! It’s a psalm that looks forward to the day where every tribe and nation, every ruler of every kingdom, will come together and acknowledge God as King.

Application

Christ is King and sits on the throne.

This psalm serves as great reminder that despite the chaos that is going on in this world right now, Jesus Christ remains in control and sits on His Holy Throne. So, we can’t get bent out of shape on who is or isn’t in the White House. Focus on Who sits on the throne in God’s House…and that’s Jesus Christ! Let Him rule and reign in our lives. Let His name be praised throughout all the earth. Let the whole world know that Jesus is coming back again! Are you ready?!

“that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” -‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭

Prayer

Lord Jesus, You are King! Not only in my life, but over the whole world. May I be bold and courageous to declare that everywhere I go. Give me the words to teach and tell others just how holy and majestic the name of Jesus is. May the whole world be prepared for Your return. In Jesus name I pray, Amen. 🙏🏽
