The Lord is God!
When you study the Psalms there are two opinions as to who authored Psalm 100. Some state that the author is unknown and some say it was King David. Whoever wrote the Psalm, one thing that stands out is that the author exclaimed, “The Lord…he is God.”
Perhaps it was King David. He relied on God to save him from King Saul when he chased him into the wilderness. David felt close to the Lord and at one point prayed that the Lord would not take His Holy Spirit from him. David felt a close kinship with the Lord, to the place that he might have viewed God as common place. That is a danger for all of God’s children. But the day came when David realized that God was much more than a friend, a comforter, or Heavenly Father. David stood in awe, in the Spirit, and exclaimed, “The Lord…He is God!”
Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).
It sounds like something that David would write.
The gospel singer Nichole Nordeman sings a song where the lyrics say things like ‘Dare I gaze at You…Help me not to forget to tremble’. The theme of the song is that we tend to take the Lord Jesus for granted and often treat Him as commonplace. Because He is a friend that sticks closer than a brother, we sometimes try to bring God down to our level. But the Lord wants us to live on a higher plane.
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly (1 Corinthians 15:49).
Sometimes we need to take a step back and say, “The Lord…He is God!”
God Bless
