The Lord Reigns

The Lord reigns, he is clothed with majesty; the Lord is clothed with strength, wherewith he has girded himself: the world also is established, so that it cannot be moved.

Your throne is established of old: You are from everlasting.

The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; 

the floods lift up their waves.

The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, 

yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.

Your testimonies are very sure: 

holiness adorns for Your house, 

O Lord, for ever.

Psalm 93, modified KJV

This psalm starts with the Lord.  That should be the starting point of all our discussions, our focus, our logic and our action.  Start with the Lord.  See Him high and lifted up.  His train fills the temple. (Isa. 6:1)  

See the Lord.  This is the Covenant Lord, the One who of His own volition bound Himself to His people by oath and covenant.  This great power of the Lord is for us and is "to us-ward" Eph 1:19 KJV) and is available so that we may say that we can do all things through Him who strengthens us.

See the Lord clothed with majesty.  Not with something that is majestic.  No, He puts on Majesty!  He is arrayed in the essence of all that is Majestic and Brilliant and Resplendent.  "Not with emblems of majesty, but with majesty itself: everything which surrounds him is majestic."  (Spurgeon, The Treasury of David, Ps. 93)

But see also that the Lord is higher than all.  The nation rage and the people image things in vain, plotting how to overthrow God's authority (Ps. 2).  But He is above all that.  The Lord sits in the heavens and laughs, scoffs, at such puny attempts.  His throne is from ancient—it is eternal because the Lord Himself is from everlasting.

Spurgeon writes upon verse 4:

"Loud the stormy billows spoke,
Loud the billows raised their cry;
Fierce the stormy billows broke,
Sounding to the echoing sky.
Strong the breakers tossing high,
Stronger is Jehovah's might.
True thy words; and sanctity
Well becomes thy temple bright."

 And that brings us to the last verse.

This Psalm starts with the Lord reigning in Sovereignty.  This Psalm ends with holiness adorning His house.  Isaiah saw the Lord in unimaginable Glory and Splendor and heard the angels cry out "Holy, holy, holy!"  If we are properly contemplating the reigning Lord our response will be to adorn our house with holiness.  The Lord will have a pure and spotless Bride.  He is making His Church clean.  And we must do our part to cooperate with Him to become more and more sanctified because holines is fitting of all God's people.
