"M" is for MAJESTY

 Though Majesty is more of a descriptive word than a title, it is used to describe our Lord’s worth and authority above all that is and was and is to come.  He is my Majesty.  He is Your Majesty.  He has all wisdom.  He is King of all kings, and Lord of all lords.

According to Webster’s New World Dictionary, Majesty is a noun.  It is 1) the dignity or power of a sovereign. 2) It is sovereign power.  The title is used in speaking to or of a sovereign, and is preceded by “Your’ or by ‘His or Her’.

In Job 37:22, Job said that with God is awe-inspiring Majesty.  David wrote whole Psalms to the Majesty of God (See Psalm 93).  In II Peter 1:16 Peter said he had been an eyewitness of His Majesty.  He had been there at the ‘Transfiguration’.  He had been there when Jesus rose from the dead, and he had seen him ascend into heaven.  He had first hand knowledge of His Majesty.

Writers and songwriters down through the years have sought to express the Majesty of our God.  Stu Garrard/Martin Smith have written:

“Majesty, Majesty

Your grace has found me just as I am

Empty handed, but alive in Your hands.

Majesty, Majesty

Forever I am changed by Your love

In the presence of Your Majesty.”

Bill and Gloria Gaither have given us this familiar chorus, one I love hearing sung b y a large choir or congregation.  I cannot help but join in with:

“Majesty, Worship His Majesty

Unto Jesus be all glory, honor and praise!

Majesty, Kingdom, Authority

Flows from His throne

Unto His own

His anthem raise.

So exalt, lift up on high

The name of Jesus.

Magnify, come glorify Christ Jesus the King.

Majesty, worship His Majesty

Jesus who died, now glorified

King of all kings.”

Amen!  Majesty!
