[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[Psalm 82]] ## Title: God is the Greatest of All ## Scripture: (Psalm 82:1) “A psalm of Asaph. God stands in the assembly of El; in the midst of the gods he renders judgment.” (NET) ## Observation: This is one of the most talked-about and controversial songs in the entire Bible. Scholars debate this song continuously. There are those who say this is speaking of a heavenly leadership cabinet where God has delegated authority to heavenly beings. This would be much like how Moses instituted what we call the “Jethro Principle” in the book of Exodus. The goal is to have a leadership structure for serving people. This is not because God cannot do it Himself. It is because He prefers to work through relationships and others. Other scholars argue that it refers to earthly judges and the term “heaven’s court” refers to the people of God and the fact that the Law is holy in its judgment. No matter where you stand on this passage, the bottom line is the same. God presides over it all. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. There is nothing that even remotely compares to Him. ## Application: Think of the great privilege we have of being able to pray and talk to the King of kings any time we want. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being so great yet caring so much for us.
