The LORD of Hosts

Yahweh Sabaoth – The LORD of Hosts

Psalm 46:1-7, 10,11; Acts 1:9-11; Revelation 19:11-16

Matthew 26:23

 

When Psalm 46:10 commands us to “Be still, and know that I am God,”

it is not a call to casual relaxation.

In the original Hebrew, “Be still” means to “let our hands drop.”

It means surrender. It means to stop frantic, anxious striving.
Why can we let our hands drop today?

Why can we stop worrying?

Because the Christ who died for us has ascended to the throne.

 Because He is currently ruling as the LORD of hosts.
Because He is returning in absolute power to set all things right.
The Commander of heaven’s armies has filled our refuge,

secured our future, and He is standing with us

right now  in the midst of the storm.

The Throne of Sabaoth
The pillars of the world may shake and slide,
The raging oceans roar against the shore,
Yet in the high tower shall His church abide,
Secure within the fortress evermore.
The LORD of Hosts, who numbers every star,
Who rules the angel armies with a breath,
Has broken through our dark and earthly war,
To strip the crown from sin and vanquish death.
Behold Him now, ascended to the height,
Enthroned in glory, Captain of our peace;
He soon shall split the clouds in blinding light,
With heavenly hosts, whose triumphs never cease.
So drop our hands, be still, and fear no cost:
Our refuge stands—the King of kings is Host.
