A Devotional Journey Through the Psalms: Psalm 99

A Devotional Journey Through the Psalms: Psalm 99
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

The Lord reigns; Let the peoples tremble!
He dwells between the cherubim;
Let the earth be moved! The Lord is great in Zion,
And He is high above all the peoples. Let them praise Your great and awesome name—
He is holy. The King’s strength also loves justice;
You have established equity; You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.
Exalt the Lord our God, And worship at His footstool…
He is holy. Moses and Aaron were among His priests, And Samuel was among those who called upon His name; They called upon the Lord, and He answered them. He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar; They kept His testimonies and the ordinance He gave them. You answered them, O Lord our God; You were to them God-Who-Forgives, Though You took vengeance on their deeds. Exalt the Lord our God, And worship at His holy hill; For the Lord our God is holy (Psalm 99:1-9).
 
 
Psalm 99 places before us the most important revelation of Scripture, our salvation! God, who is holy, has made a way for us, who are not holy, to be forgiven and cleansed from our sin. All sin! All unrighteousness!
 
Each of us who have been redeemed, can thank God from the deepest part of our being, for His grace and mercy to us. We would have no hope, no future, no comfort and no consolation if God were not the God-Who-Forgives!
 
In the beginning of the first book of the Bible, God’s love story of redemption began to be written. In the last book of the Bible, the final chapter of God’s redemptive love story is revealed. It will be a chapter that takes an eternity to write.
 
This love story of redemption is the only true love story that can be told. No one, anywhere, at any time will find redemption in any other story. Anyone who walks away from the God-Who-Forgives, will not be able to find redemption, forgiveness, or salvation behind any other door. No other gospel, no creed, no organization, no membership, no belief, no doctrine, no good work, no discipline, and no amount of effort has enough power to forgive, cleanse and wash away all sin!
 
Only the Gospel of Jesus Christ has the power to save us, only the blood of Jesus has the power to cleanse us, only the Cross of Jesus has the power to deliver us, only the Spirit of Jesus has the power to transform us, only the Truth of Jesus has the power to set us free!
 
Insight: 
God planned our salvation,
He promised our salvation,
He prepared our salvation,
He provided our salvation,
He proclaimed our salvation,
Salvation is of the Lord!
 
Insight: “Only a holy God, can take an unholy person, out of an unholy world, make that person holy, place that person back into an unholy world, and keep that person holy.”
-Leonard Ravenhill
