Psalm 99
-Theme: God’s
love of justice and equity in His sovereignty over the earth. The LORD is
holy and praiseworthy, lift up His awesome Name.
-Historical Insight: This is an anonymous Psalm similar to
other praises in this book.
-*Application* The very thought of God should make us
tremble and remember that He alone is exalted and honored above even the
cherubim (the highest class of angels). He is holy, or set apart/sacred, in His
perfection and righteousness. His Name is awesome and living. This King’s
strength is in the fact that He loves justice and equity. We should respectfully
worship at His footstool as the saints of old did (Moses, Aaron, and Samuel to
name just a few). Just like they called and received an answer, so too can we.
Don’t be afraid to call upon this powerful Force that can change circumstances
in an instant. He will speak in a variety of ways, so listen carefully and
attentively. Keep His testimonies remembering that He forgives iniquity, yet is
an avenger of every evil deed. Exalt and honor Him in the highest!
