My Thoughts
This is still a Psalm of Asaph
I love how it's on string instruments. I love singing songs with the guitar and other instruments.
Verse 1
In Judah God is known;
His name is great in Israel.
These are the Norther and Southern Kingdoms of Israel.
Four places of Israel are mentioned.God is over all.
One day, Jerusalem will be filled with God.
One day God's kingdom will come down and He will
be with man.
One day soon
Verse 2
There He broke the arrows of the bow,
The shield and sword of battle. Selah
This is the time that Jesus will be bring True Peace to the Earth. Not the Pseudo peace that is trying to wiggle it's head in the world today.
Isaiah 2:4 says this,
"He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore."
No more war.
What a glorious time that is coming!
Verse 4
You are more glorious and excellent
Than the mountains of prey.
I say Amen to this. God is more glorious than anything. He is mighty strong magnificent. He is the Great I Am.
One day the Earth will be filled so full with His glory that there will be no more need for the sun or moon or stars. His glory outshines everything.
Verse 5
The stouthearted were plundered;
They have sunk into their sleep;
And none of the mighty men have found the use of their hands.
They weren't ready;they were sleeping.
We don't want to be caught sleeping when the Lord comes.
Remember the parable of the virgins? 5 were ready and 5 were unprepared.
I know times are crazy in the world right now, but that is all the more reason to be ready for Christ's return.
Verse 7
You, Yourself, are to be feared;
And who may stand in Your presence
When once You are angry?
Rev 6:17
For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?”
You don't want to be on the receiving side of God's wrath.
Luke 20:18
Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”
God gives us ample of times of repentance.
As Christians, here is our exhortation
Jude 1:20-21
But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
Stay close to the Lord and keep yourself in the place of blessings.
Verse 10
Surely the wrath of man shall praise You;
With the remainder of wrath You shall gird Yourself.
God will only let's His wrath go so far. There is coming a time when He will judge the Earth.
Then it will be all over.
I encourage you to read Revelation.
It is amazing to see the future events of the world and take comfort in them.
God's wrath is reserved for the wicked; He will be coming for His church soon.
Are you ready?
Blessings.
