Psalm 47

It only took me 1 minute to read this psalm. One phrase out of this psalm captured me; this thought that Korah's son understood is something that I, too often, over look. "God is Lord of the godless nations." We often confess that God is Lord of our lives, that he has sole rule over our individual destinies. As congregations of believers we confess that God calls the shots, that he alone rules the body of Christ. And there are nations that broadcast their faithand trust in God. These nations face other nations and kingdoms that reject God's existence as well as his rule. Those nations led by atheist are as much under God's rule as I am as a Christian. The difference is that I understand and admit it, while they stubbornly ignore his loving pleas of surrender and offers of overwhelming and freeing grace. But our God is still their God.
