Psalm
93 – Three Anchors
When
the floods are rising, lay hold of three anchors that will steady you.
1.
God’s throne. No
matter what may come to you today “the Lord reigns”. God is sovereign and
everything is under control. His majestic throne is strong, established, and everlasting.
His throne is above the floods, but He is with you in your trials and will see
you through (Isa, 43:1-2).
2.
God’s testimonies.
You can trust the Word of God because it never fails (Josh, 21:45, 23:14).
Cling to His testimonies and withstand the floods by faith.
3.
God’s temple.
God’s throne was the mercy seat in the Holy of Holies (Ps. 99:11), and there
His glory rested. Satan himself cannot dethrone our Lord, and the men who
attempt it are attempting vanity. When the storms come and the floods rise, you
can experience peace, for “the Lord is in His holy temple. Let all the earth
keep silence before Him.” (Heb. 2:20).
Psalm
94 – God Will Teach You
God
alone can judge and punish the wicked, but God’s people must stand up and be
counted in the battle for truth. It is easier to be a spectator or an advisor
than to be a soldier. When you enter the battle against evil, rely on God.
God
knows all about the enemy. He hears their insolent speech. He sees their wicked
deeds, and He will eventually bring them to judgment. The Captain of your
salvation will not be caught off guard.
God
will teach you what to do. The basic handbook for battle is the Word of God, an
God will teach you what you need to know. Gideon was an ordinary farmer when
God called him, and yet he became a mighty warrior because he let God teach him.
(Judges 6-7). Even though he was hiding from the enemy, God called him a “mighty
man of valor.”
God
will help you fight. God is for you if you are against what He is against. When
you fight, He will help you. If you slip, He will hold you. If you worry, He
will comfort you, and if you are attacked, He will defend you.
Please
read the chapter listed so that you can understand God’s Word better.
