(Psalm 93:1-5 NIV) “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. {2} Your throne was established long ago; you are from all eternity. {3} The seas have lifted up, O Lord, the seas have lifted up their voice; the seas have lifted up their pounding waves. {4} Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea-- the Lord on high is mighty. {5} Your statutes stand firm; holiness adorns your house for endless days, O Lord.”
(Isaiah 9:6-7 NIV) “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. {7} Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.”
Sometimes in our pursuit of Jesus the man, we forget that Jesus is also the Lord of creation and eternity. He and the Everlasting Father are one. He is Lord of lords -- the God who established the world and everything in it. He reigns as King of kings with justice and righteousness. He is “robed with majesty and armed with strength”. His power and glory are without equal. He is the Lamb of God, but He is also the Lion of the tribe of Judah. He is the Mighty God of Isaiah 9 and He shall reign forever and ever. Our God is an awesome God. His kingdom shall never end. Nothing can stand against His power or overcome the zeal of the Lord. This is the meek but mighty Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that we worship and follow. The heavens and the earth lift their voices in praise to the Lord Almighty. All creation bows before Him. So should we. -- Friar Tuck’s Word of the Day
