Word from Nairnshire
by Sandy Shaw
It is a good song to sing, and the lyrics are true. That is not always the case when people sing songs.
Psalm 93 is quite short but what a lot the writer packs into these few lines. There is not a wasted word.
Right at the very beginning he tells us something we each need to know, and of which we require frequent reminding.
The Lord reigns. He is robed in majesty.
This is more than trappings, emblems or mere fancy-dress.
It is quite an astonishing and reassuring picture.
Jesus Christ is risen and alive, enthroned in heaven at God the Father’s right hand, and we are informed elsewhere that He is interceding for us.
The King prays for His subjects. He cares for those who follow Him, and is so interested and concerned about all the details of our lives. Nothing is ever too trivial to bring to His attention.
What is he asking the Father regarding you?
Whatever might happen in our world, Jesus Christ is never taken by surprise. No matter what turmoil, rebellion or upheaval explodes, He is not shaken.
His throne is unmoved and unmovable.
The noise of pounding roaring waves can be battering against men and nations. He is mightier, and able to hear the faintest of our cries.
When we are despondent, desperate, down, and feeling almost defeated, know that He is in control. Our God reigns.
It is a positive song to sing, but to believe these words at all times and in every circumstance can be a very different matter, and quite difficult, especially when we cannot see clearly, or we wonder what lies ahead of us.
At such a moment let the Holy Spirit whisper in your ear, “The Lord reigns”.
