Who (or what) is in control? That is a question we have to ask today. Psalm 93 gives us an emphatic answer: Yahweh reigns. He is in control. And he is not like any other god you might have encountered.
If you are getting started in a relationship with God, trying to have a quiet time or seeking guidance at this point in your life, you're in the right place.
Spend your first fifteen minutes of the day listening to God and responding in a personal way. This podcast will show you how and teach you in an easy to follow process.
In fifteen minutes (or less) you will listen to God's word for you, reflect on it and learn to pray to God as well as carry that word with you through the rest of your day. What a perfect way to get started!
We are listening to Psalm 93 from Book 4 of the Psalms. It is a psalm of God's reign and rule. In five verses, just 45 words in Hebrew, it captures an entire worldview. Yahweh reigns, he created the world and all the mighty forces of nature are beneath him. He has revealed himself faithfully, and he is holy. From these truths, our response is to live acknowledging God's reign and his holiness and making daily choices that submit to him.
The "waters" in v. 3 (this translation) are literally "rivers" in Hebrew and could refer to the mighty rivers of the ancient world, the seas (and their currents), or both. "Yahweh" is repeated five times, and he is clearly central in this psalm.
