READ: Psalm 93
Every time I go to the beach I am always impressed with the immensity of the ocean. The waves are so powerful. Even small ones can knock you off your feet. They are relentless; they just keep coming, one after the other. The waves of a hurricane are so mighty they can knock houses off their foundations and sweep them away.
The psalmist speaks of the power of the ocean but then remembers that God is far more powerful than the most powerful tsunamis or tidal waves in the world. Sometimes it seems like there are waves of trouble sweeping over us—financial waves, marriage waves, family waves, job waves, health waves—and we grow anxious and afraid. We get overwhelmed by life and it threatens to knock us off our feet. In those times remember, “God is mightier than the violent raging of the seas.” Next time the powerful waves of life are threatening to sweep you away, remember, God is great, God is strong, God is mighty. You may face things that are bigger and more powerful than you are, but you will never face anything mightier than God. Hang on to Him.
