The Twenty-Fourth Psalm: It's God World!
The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein. For He has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the waters.
Psalm 24:1-2
Recommended Reading: Psalm 24
Many Bible students see Psalms 22, 23, and 24 as a trilogy. Psalm 22 presents Jesus as the suffering Savior. In Psalm 23 He’s the Good Shepherd. And in Psalm 24 He is the reigning King.
We rightly focus much of our attention on our Lord’s role as our Savior and Shepherd, but as we begin 2024, let’s study Psalm 24 and ponder our Lord’s kingship. The writer, David, begins this psalm by reminding us that all the universe—the whole of creation and beyond—is part of our Lord’s portfolio of properties. He formed the earth and its fullness! The world and its inhabitants!
No one is higher, no one is greater, no one is more powerful, and no one has more authority than our Lord Jesus. Yet He is our Friend. Trust Him to control all that happens around you today!
Jesus is the Creator of everything. Jesus is the Sustainer of everything. And this same Jesus has made Himself available to you. This same Jesus is standing close, gesturing to you. Why don’t you pull up a chair?
