Our God Reigns!!

Donna and Bruce Weatherly joined us for worship at REFC on Sunday and shared their ministry to missionaries on the Asian continent.  They are members of and commended by Grace Memorial Church in Fredericksburg, VA and hail from Philipsburg, PA.  Their ministry is: Encouraging and helping other missionaries in Thailand, China, Mynamar, Mongolia and one or two other countries.

Donna presented a wonderful power point program about their work in a tiny village in Mongolia right at the Russian border.  Lotsa yurts!

Then Bruce led us in a study of Psalm 93.

The Eternal Reign of the LORD

1 The LORD reigns, He is clothed with majesty;
Bruce looked at this Psalm from an 'after the cross' believer's point of view: The Lord reigns...in me!!
The LORD is clothed,
Using the New Testament he cited Scriptures which validate the LORD's reign in me.
He has girded Himself with strength.
Romans 8:9-11; Romans 6:18-23; Galatians 2 19-20
Surely the world is established, so that it cannot be moved.

2 Your throne is established from of old;
Philippians 2:12; Ezekiel 36:26-27; Ephesians 2:8-9
You are from everlasting.

3 The floods have lifted up, O LORD,
Matthew 27:20-25;  Satan, his minions, his world systems, his angel of light tactics are the floods
The floods have lifted up their voice;
which have been lifted up against God and his Word since the Garden of Eden.
The floods lift up their waves.

4 The LORD on high is mightier
1 Peter 5:6-11; Psalm 73:26 My flesh and my heart fail;
Than the noise of many waters,
But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Than the mighty waves of the sea.

5 Your testimonies are very sure;
Psalm 19 and 119!!
Holiness adorns Your house,

O LORD, forever.   You reign...in me!!!
