The
small g gods who covet a capital G will have to listen while the psalmist sings
praise of the Lord exalted above all things, especially small g gods. The kings
of the earth accustomed to people bowing down to them will have to bow down to
a higher power and join the song, whether they like it or not. And so you might
expect the Lord of all the earth, who puts little g gods in their place and is
King above all kings to act the part. But this One who knows no equal, no
rival, no one worthy of comparison, regards the lowly, preserves the powerless,
and delivers the needy. Therefore the whole heart of the psalmist gives thanks
despite walking in the midst of trouble, for the Lord is near and not far off. We,
too, when strengthened in soul by the steadfast love of the Lord trust that the
Lord’s purposes for us, which may or may not be immediately apparent, will in
fact be fulfilled for the capital G God and the King above all kings hears the
words of our mouth and knows the needs of our soul.
