“RESPONDING TO THE OTHERNESS OF GOD”

Psalm 99

1 The LORD reigns; let the peoples tremble! He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake! 

2 The LORD is great in Zion; he is exalted over all the peoples. 

3 Let them praise your great and awesome name! Holy is he! 

4 The King in his might loves justice. You have established equity; you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob. 

5 Exalt the LORD our God; worship at his footstool! Holy is he! 

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel also was among those who called upon his name. They called to the LORD, and he answered them. 

7 In the pillar of the cloud he spoke to them; they kept his testimonies and the statute that he gave them. 

8 O LORD our God, you answered them; you were a forgiving God to them, but an avenger of their wrongdoings. 

9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy mountain; for the LORD our God is holy! 

What sets God apart?

He is sovereign! (Psalm 99:1-2)

He is just! (Psalm 99:4)

He is accessible! (Psalm 99:6-8)

How should we respond?

Trust Jesus as sovereign. (Psalm 99:3)

Trust Jesus for salvation. (Psalm 99:5)

Trust Jesus for sanctification. (Psalm 99:9)
