The Throne Only Seats One King – Psalm 47
Scripture
47 O clap your hands, all peoples;
Shout to God with the voice of joy.
2 For the Lord Most High is to be feared,
A great King over all the earth.
3 He subdues peoples under us
And nations under our feet.
4 He chooses our inheritance for us,
The glory of Jacob whom He loves. Selah.
5 God has ascended with a shout,
The Lord, with the sound of a trumpet.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises;
Sing praises to our King, sing praises.
7 For God is the King of all the earth;
Sing praises with a skillful psalm.
8 God reigns over the nations,
God sits on His holy throne.
9 The princes of the people have assembled themselves as the people of the God of Abraham,
For the shields of the earth belong to God;
He is highly exalted.
Description
People who submit to God as King passionately praise Him. We have a king, a master, an ultimate heart treasure to whom we submit and praise. If God, the true king of all people, is not our master then we are submitting to a false savior. Psalm 47 awakens us to the reality of our need for King Jesus.
