The LORD
reigns, He is robed in majesty;
the LORD is
robed in majesty and is armed
with
strength. The world is firmly established;
it cannot
be moved.
Psalm 93:1
Where was God? Have you heard that
question asked from someone during times of great distress or tragedy? Maybe
you have asked it yourself. Events of this life can overwhelm us and cause
great agony. A sudden illness, loss of a child, or financial ruin can push us
to an emotional brink, and we may find ourselves in desperation calling out and
asking, “God if you are there, why did you let this happen?”
Psalm 93 is a powerful reminder that God
reigns. He is the King on His throne. He is able to take action with strength,
power, and might! His throne is established from all eternity—not just in the
future but in the past as well. Never has there been a time when God did not
exist. Therefore, never has there been a time when God did not maintain
control.
Sometimes it seems as though the
foundation of our world is shaken. But God’s Word says, “the world is firmly
established; it cannot be moved.” Creation understands this. The rivers clap
their hands together in His praise. The songbirds lift their voices and praise Him.
The morning glory shakes off the dew and lifts her face in adoration of the
King.
We may never understand why horrific
things happen. We may think that God is not doing anything about the tragedies of
this life. We may sometimes forget that God acts, He does not react.
In spite of all the bad news, heartache
and tragedy we face in our world, we must never forget that God is in control.
We can believe Him. We can trust Him. Only He can bring peace in the midst of
heartache, joy in the midst of sorrow and a song in the midst of the darkest
night.
Trust Him. He is robed in majesty. He is
armed with strength. He loves you. The LORD reigns.
