GOD IS KING OVER ALL THE EARTH

Passage: Psalm 47:1~9  

Key verse: 7


1. God has subdued the nations (1-6)

God promised Abraham that his descendants would inherit the world (Ro 4:13; Ge 22:18). God is keeping that promise through his people whom he sends to proclaim the gospel to all nations, calling people of every tribe and tongue and nation to the obedience that comes from faith (Ro 1:5). He wants his people to be a kingdom of priests. May God hasten the day when every knee will bow and every tongue confess him as Lord and King. 'Clap your hands, all you nations; sing praises to God, sing praises to our King.'

2. God reigns over the nations (7-9)

The God of Abraham is the Sovereign Ruler of all the earth. The kings of the earth belong to him. Let us sing his praises.


Prayer: Lord, hasten the day when the Son of Man comes to establish his perfect reign on earth. Hasten the day when all creation is released from its bondage to sin and death and decay, and your image is completely restored in all people.

One Word: Praise the King of all the earth
