Psalm 93: How To Remember Who Is In Charge
When life feels chaotic, it’s rarely because we suddenly believe less about God. More often, it’s because everything else gets magnified. Problems loom larger, headlines feel heavier, and personal pressures stack up until our perspective narrows. Psalm 93 offers a simple but powerful spiritual reset: remember who is in charge. In this Christian devotional and Bible study reflection, Pastor Brandon points us back to God’s sovereignty, God’s majesty, and the steady truth that the Lord is King. That one sentence can calm anxiety, steady faith, and reframe a hard season, because it reminds us that God’s authority has not shifted even when our circumstances have.
Psalm 93 uses vivid imagery to describe what fear feels like. The psalmist talks about floods rising and waves pounding, like trouble that won’t stop coming. That language lands because it’s honest. The Bible doesn’t pretend the “raging seas” aren’t real, and neither should we. Yet the psalm’s main message is that God is mightier than the noise, stronger than the breakers, and higher than whatever threatens to overwhelm us. The world “stands firm and cannot be shaken,” not because the world is stable on its own, but because God’s throne has stood from time immemorial. God’s rule is not temporary, reactive, or fragile.
A key takeaway is the difference between circumstances getting bigger and God getting smaller. Our emotions often treat them as the same thing. Psalm 93 corrects that confusion by lifting our eyes to the character of God: His strength, His holiness, and the unchanging nature of His reign. This is why daily Bible reading matters. A daily Psalm anchors the mind when our thoughts drift toward fear. It’s also why prayer is more than a routine. Prayer is the act of placing our “waves” next to God’s greatness and letting the comparison do its work. Over time, that becomes a spiritual discipline that builds resilience and peace.
The practical exercise from the episode makes Psalm 93 personal. Write down as many things as you can about the Lord: who He is, how He has helped you, where He has been faithful, what He has carried you through. Then write down what you’re dealing with right now, clearly and honestly. Finally, say it out loud and in writing: God is bigger than these. This isn’t denial; it’s biblical perspective. It’s choosing to measure the storm against the throne. If you want a simple Christian encouragement practice that pairs Scripture, journaling, and prayer, this Psalm 93 homework is a strong place to start.
Let’s read it together.
