Scripture Reading : Psalm 47
Theme : God is the King over All the Earth
- Homage to the Sovereign King (1–4). This psalm takes the readers to the future when God’s kingdom is established on earth by using Israel to defeat His enemies (cf. Zech. 12:1-6). At that day, all the peoples, all the nations will bow to pay homage to God, the only rightful king of the earth.
- The Reigning of the Sovereign King (5–9). In that day, all will sing praise to our amazing God and king. All the princes/rulers of the nations will gather to worship God, just as the believing Jews. He is the true shield/protector of all nations.
Praying the Scripture
Be sure that God will be king over the earth one day through the reigning of Jesus. He will come back to reclaim the earth and be its king (Phil. 2:9-11). All will bow. Those who are unwilling will be thrown out, those who are willing will worship Him and be blessed. May you rejoice over such day and long for the return of Jesus.
经文：诗篇47
主题：神是全地的王
- 对至高者的敬意（1-4）。这首诗篇将读者带入未来，即神藉着以色列打败祂的仇敌后（参：亚12:1-6）在地上建立祂的国度之时。到了那日，万国都要敬拜地上唯一真正的王——我们的神。
- 至高者的统治（5-9）。在那日，万民都要向我们奇妙的神和君王歌颂。万国的领导/统治者都要聚集敬拜神，如同信神的犹太人一样。祂是万国属实的盾牌/守护者。
用经文祷告
有朝一日，神必然藉着耶稣的统治做世界的王。祂要回来，取回这地，做这地的王（腓2:9-11）。万民都要屈膝。不愿服从的会被驱逐；顺服的将拜祂，领受祝福。愿你能为这样的一日欢喜并渴望耶稣的归来。
