Psalm 97: God the Supreme Ruler

God the Lord is the Supreme and only ruler of the universe and He reigns with righteousness and justice over all the earth. For this all the inhabitants of the earth will worship Him and praise His Name.

The Lord has defeated all His enemies and established Himself as sole authority over all gods, demons, and all other would-be rulers of any kind over anything. This means nothing and no one has a right to my life except the One God alone. When I praise Him I give Him the right to rule my life. Sin, Death and the Devil will lie and attempt to get me to surrender my soul and my life to them, which I have done, but my Lord has rescued me from their right to rule and placed under His authority, the safe place to be.

God’s presence may be either to bless or to judge. He blesses me and judges my sin. I learn to love the Lord and hate evil. He preserves my soul and delivers me from the evil. He sends light and gladness from His sweet presence causing me to rejoice and give thanks. I relax and rejoice when Jesus takes over.
