Last Sunday we sang that old worship chorus, “The LORD Reigns.” It was taken from Psalm 97.
“The LORD (JEHOVAN YAHWEH) reigns! Let the earth rejoice!”
“Fire goes before Him and burns up His foes on every side”
“The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD—at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.”
“The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory”
“For You, LORD, are the Most High over all the earth, You are exalted above all the gods.”
Occasionally posts asking for comments come up on Facebook. The other day one appeared that asked people to say something wonderful with only three words. I guess I would have to reply, “The LORD Reigns!”
I cannot think of a more wonderful phrase for all time. I open my online news sources each day or listen to a news broadcast on television or radio and no one ever mentions the best news of all – the LORD Reigns.
Our LORD (JEHOVAH, YAHWEH) reigns! He is robed in majesty. Psalm 93:1
Our LORD (JEHOVAH, YAHWEH) reigns! He judges the peoples fairly. Psalm 96:10
Our LORD (JEHOVAH, YAHWEH) reigns! He is enthroned above the cherubim. Psalm 99:1
Our LORD (JEHOVAH, YAHWEH) reigns forever … for all generations. Hallelujah! Psalm 146:10
This morning my hearts sings because I know that no matter what I see with earthly eyes, no matter what I hear with earthly ears, My LORD reigns. There is coming a day when every person will acknowledge that truth.
“As I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow to Me, and every tongue will give praise to God.” [Romans 14:11 HCSB]
