Psalm 47

A Bible Devotion from Psalm 47
The Lord Most High is Awesome

Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph! For the Lord Most High is awesome; He is a great King over all the earth . . . . God reigns over the nations; God sits on His holy throne. The princes of the people have gathered together, the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God; He is greatly exalted.
Psalm 47:1-2 and 8-9


Psalm 47



The war is already over! Do you remember the story of the Japanese man found on a deserted island many years after the end of World War II. There he was, still defending the island for Japan; it was not easy for his rescuers to convince him that the war had been over for over a decade!



Do you know that we do the same thing? We live as those we are still in the midst of a war between good and evil; worse than that, most people do not even believe that such a war exists! That's not true of Satan. He knows that the war is already over; he knows he is already defeated. He sure does a good job of convincing us otherwise.

God reigns over the nations; God sits on His holy throne. How would you live differently if you truly believed that and acted upon it? Remember those high school basketball days. Try to convince the cheerleaders that they haven't already won even before the game begins! Before the first ball is tipped off, the cheers of victory have already begun.

Pray today for a victorious spirit as you live this day; God has already won!
