Seeing Jesus in the Psalms

  Psalm 93 1 The Lord is king ! He is robed in majesty. Indeed, the Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength. The world stands firm and cannot be shaken. 2 Your throne , O Lord, has stood from time immemorial. You yourself are from the everlasting past. 3 The floods have risen up, O Lord. The floods have roared like thunder; the floods have lifted their pounding waves. 4 But mightier than the violent raging of the seas, mightier than the breakers on the shore— the Lord above is mightier than these! 5 Your royal laws cannot be changed.

Jesus was clear about the level of detail in God’s planning and purposes.  29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Matthew 10 Your enemies cringe before your mighty power. V.3 Everything on earth will worship you; v.4 Isaiah reveals God’s awesome power and sovereignty in chapter 45 ( Isaiah 45:23 ) of His prophecy and Paul picks up on it ( R...
