Reflection - Psalm 93 - Divine Mystery

Source (book): "My Soul Thirsts For God", Reflections on the Psalms from Our Daily Bread, Psalm 93, "Divine Mystery", Page 132.
By Haddon Robinson, Our Daily Bread Writer



Psalm 93
PHOTO: Psalm 93
The Lord reigns, he is robed in majesty;
the Lord is robed in majesty
and is armed with strength;
The world is firmly established;
it cannot be moved.
Your throne was established long ago;
you are from all eternity.

The seas have lifted up, O Lord,
the seas have lifted up their voice;
Mightier than the thunder of the great waters,
mightier than the breakers of the sea —
The Lord on high is mighty.

Your statutes stand firm;
holiness adorns your house
for endless days, O Lord.


Divine Mystery
At one point along the Saguenay River in southeastern Canada, the water flows through a chasm (gorge) between two rugged rock formations. Their pinnacles (peaks) tower over 1,000 feet into the sky. Early pioneers were so awestruck by these majestic crags (steep or rugged cliff or rock face) that they named them Trinity and Eternity.

The two great truths expressed by these words create a sense of awe in the heart of every Christian. The Bible tells us of God's eternity - His timeless existence (Psalm 93:2) and His triune nature - the threefold expression of himself as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).

Both of these affirmations
baffle (puzzle) our minds. If we try to comprehend either of them, the question asked by Job's friend comes to mind: "Can you fathom the mysteries of God?" (Job 11:7). The answer is obvious. When we try to behold the triune God, we feel like someone who grazes up into the midday sun to study it.

At the heart of the Christian faith is mystery, because at the heart of our faith is the eternal, triune God. We have the Father, who loves us, the Savior who died for us, and the Spirit who helps us to be holy. This divine mystery gives us reason to bow down and worship our eternal God.
