TOPIC:  GOD IS THE KING OF NATIONS – Part 2

WHEN HE PLEASES TO DRAW HIS SWORD AND GIVE IT COMMISSION

MEMORIZE: “Inasmuch as there is none like You, O LORD (You are great, and Your name is great in might), 7 Who would not fear You, O King of the nations? For this is Your rightful due. For among all the wise men of the nations, And in all their kingdoms, There is none like You.” Jeremiah 10:6-7.

SCRIPTURE READING: Psalm 46:6-11.

“The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted. 7 The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. 8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, Who has made desolations in the earth. 9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire. 10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! 11 The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.”

EXPOSITION:

When he pleases to draw his sword, and give it commission, he can make great havoc among the nations and lay all waste (Psalm 46:8 “Come, behold the works of the LORD, Who has made desolations in the earth.”): Come, behold the works of the Lord; they are to be observed (Psalm 66:5 “Come and see the works of God; He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men.”), and to be sought out, Psalm 111:2 “The works of the LORD are great, Studied by all who have pleasure in them.”. All the operations of Providence must be considered as the works of the Lord, and his attributes and purposes must be taken notice of in them.  Particularly take notice of the desolations he has made in the earth, among the enemies of his church, who thought to lay the land of Israel desolate. The destruction they designed to bring upon the church has been turned upon themselves. 

War is a tragedy which commonly destroys the stage it is acted on; David carried the war into the enemies' country; and O what desolations did it make there! Cities were burnt, countries laid waste, and armies of men cut off and laid in heaps upon heaps. Come and see the effects of desolating judgments, and stand in awe of God; say, How terrible art thou in thy works! Psalm 66:3 “Say to God, "How awesome are Your works! Through the greatness of Your power Your enemies shall submit themselves to You.”. Let all that oppose him see this with terror, and expect the same cup of trembling to be put into their hands; let all that fear him and trust in him see it with pleasure, and not be afraid of the most formidable powers armed against the church. Let them gird themselves, but they shall be broken to pieces. 

PRAYER POINT:  Lord, fight for me and give me victory as your son/daughter In Jesus Name.
