Joyful, reverent, and fervent praise springs from knowing God in His power. The denial of the doctrine of creation directly undermines the worship of God, as does the denial of His sovereign control over all things, including the hearts of men. Our God reigns over the whole world and no one can defeat His will. It is no small comfort to the church that His saving plan shall be fulfilled, no matter what mankind may do to thwart it. Faith in God’s sovereignty produces both the fear of the Lord and hope in His faithful love.
Why is it crucial for us to worship this aspect of Him?
Christ rejoiced in the sovereignty of God. He taught the doctrine of creation, arguing on that basis that the Creator has the authority to determine the meaning of marriage (Matt. 19:4–6). He revealed the Father’s control over the smallest details of His creation (Matt. 6:26, 30; 10:29–30). The Son of God also worshiped His Father for determining whom He would save through the gospel (Matt. 11:25–27). Furthermore, in His divine nature, Christ is the sovereign Creator (Heb. 1:2, 10), the Son who with the Father and Spirit made all things and rules them for the salvation of God’s elect (John 1:1–3; 17:2).
Use this psalm as a song of worship for Christ, in whom we trust.
