Psalm 48

Psalm 48

The Lord is forever. When God is with us who can be against us?

The fact is the Lord does everything he pleases. He put the authority above you. He gave you responsibility for those below you. You are right where he wants you to be. That doesn't always mean you are doing exactly what he wants you to do. My God is sovereign, and can trump all of man's sin to complete His purposes. No sin, no devil, no demon can ever stop God from completing what He wishes.
What is God trying to do then?

1. He wants you to trust him. This means that all hope is in God. When you know that you can not do a thing on your own and that God is the only way you begin to put trust in him.
2. The reason he wants you to trust him is so he will be glorified. God does not need to be served by anyone, angels or man. He allows us the privilege of serving him so that his goodness and mercy will be reflected in our lives.
