Series: The Lord Reigns
Now the psalm starts with what the title of our series is, The Lord Reigns.
That's the first three words of verse one.
And these psalms that we're looking at over the next few weeks over the summer, they're all on this theme of God being king, God reigning.
Now, reigning, that's a little bit of a funny concept that we don't really understand in the modern day.
He knew what it meant to be a king.
He was a proper king.
He gave himself the title King of the Sun.
That's how much he was reigning.
That's how much he thought he was in control.
He got his subjects to call him Louis the Great while he was still alive.
He knew what it meant to be king.
He knew what it was like to reign.
And his famous phrase that is kind of maybe attributed to him is, But it sums up his thinking.
He says, I am the state.
He says, the French government and me, we're the same.
He was an absolute monarch.
That is God totally in control.
Louis was flawed and sometimes cruel, always looking out for himself.
