God Promises He Will Reign

Psalms 47:1-9 Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy. 2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth! 3 He subdued nations under us, peoples under our feet. 4 He chose our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob, whom he loved. 5 God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the LORD amid the sounding of trumpets. 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 to him a psalm of praise. 8 God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne. 9 The nobles of the nations assemble as the people of the God of Abraham, for the kings of the earth belong to God; he is greatly exalted. 

ARE you excited? Do you clap your hands because you know God is your God forever? Do you sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises because you know you and all of his church will worship him in fullness and glory one day? Philippians 2:9 Therefore God exalted Jesus to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 
Yes God does rule the earth now. But his sovereign reign still allows people and nations to live under Satan’s deceits. His governing purpose now is to teach us that from him and through him and to him are all things. (Romans 11:36) Against evil our salvation reveals God is the King of all the earth. He reigns over the nations. God is seated on his holy throne. 
On the day Jesus returns his reign will be complete. The King of kings will welcome his chosen people into his home. And he will reject those who have rejected him. His sovereign rule determines who is with him and who is not. He will reign forevermore with his people, and the enemy will be bound in hell. 
Psalm 47 anticipates that day with great joy. Join with the singer. Give thanks to the LORD your God, who is among you, a great and awesome God. (Deuteronomy 7:21)
Sing often and loudly in your heart as you thank God for his magnificent promise to rule your heart forevermore. What a joyous future to anticipate as you know your life is completely under God’s rule.
