Psalms 93:1

Psalms 93:1 says, The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.  The psalmist tells us that God is clothed in majesty and strength.  No matter how majestically and powerfully the rulers of the world may be clothed today, they pale in comparison to God.  Verse two adds, Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.  God's throne, unlike the thrones of people, is of old, or from before the beginning of time and it is everlasting, just as God Himself is.  No matter how long a person may reign in the world, their reign has a beginning and will have an end if it hasn't already.  Verse three states, The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.  Matthew Henry says this is a reference to the opposition that is thrown at the church.  The heathen, or those who do not believe in God or reject His power, may rage against God and us as followers of Christ, but they will never be victorious.  Verse four adds, The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.  As just stated, God will always be victorious, as will those who put their faith in Jesus Christ spiritually.  We may be defeated physically, but as long as we live by faith in Jesus Christ we will never be defeated spiritually.  Through faith in Christ, we have everlasting life with Him, and this is assured by God Himself.  Verse five declares, Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.  We can be certain of God's victory over all the evil in the world because what He says is always true.  Of course, we have to first accept the fact that He is indeed God and come to Him through faith in Jesus Christ to believe and understand this.  Whether we do or not though does not change the fact that it is true.
