Psalms 94

Psalms 94THEME: A call upon God to intervene against the wickedPsalms 94 to 100 form a series of psalms that tell a consecutive story. These seven glorious psalms are Kingdom songs celebrating the reign of the Messiah. They are a revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ and His reign on earth following the time of the Great Tribulation and all the trouble that comes upon man during that period. Psalms 94 is a call upon God to intervene in righteousness against the wicked. It is a cry from the remnant in the time of trouble preceding the Kingdom.

Psalms 94:1

“Shew thyself” or “shine forth, O God.” Many people say, “O, if the Lord would only come.” Well, He is coming, friend; but He is coming on His schedule, not on mine or any man’s schedule. Then when He comes, He will take care of all those things that caused us suffering. For the present He simply says, “Take My hand, and walk in faith.” Vengeance belongs to the Lord. He will repay. God will take care of things and set them right. There are a lot of things that need to be straightened out; and, when He comes to earth again in power and great glory, He will make things right. In the meantime, we are not to avenge ourselves. Turn those matters over to Him.

Psalms 94:8

Once again God is speaking to the stupid and foolish man. God is Spirit. He does not have ears like we do, but He hears. He does not have eyes like we do, but He sees. The sinner down here on this earth seems to think he is getting away with sin. God sees, God hears, and He is able to keep a record of what man does. My friend, there are only two places for your sins: either they are on Christ, or they are on you. If they are on Christ, the judgment is passed; if they are not, you have only judgment to look forward to in the future. Those who are in Christ have the glorious prospect of life with Him to look forward to in the days ahead. My friend, if you have not yet come to Christ, you will have to stand before God in judgment.

Psalms 94:18

The psalmist says, “I would have slipped, but God held me up.”

Psalms 94:23

The psalm concludes with the confidence that God has heard and will judge the wicked.
