Here Comes the Typhoon!

Here Comes the Typhoon!

“The LORD reigns; he is robed in majesty; the LORD is robed; he has put on strength as his belt. Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.

 Your throne is established from of old; you are from everlasting.

The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their roaring.

 Mightier than the thunders of many waters, mightier than the waves of the sea, the LORD on high is mighty!

Your decrees are very trustworthy; holiness befits your house, O LORD, forevermore.”

(Psalm 93:1–5 ESV)

This Psalm is a perfect Psalm to help us understand the sovereignty of God in the midst of the storm, and there is no better time to blog about comfort in the midst of a storm than during a tropical storm.

As I type, the winds are starting to increase.  I am grateful for the roof over my head and the fact that I can watch a storm from the comfort of my little study.

But imagine being a fisherman, out in a boat, before the days of Doppler radar, caught in a storm, seeing the floodwaters surge, the mighty seas roaring, and the thunder and lightning over waters.  That might get your attention a little more.

But the Psalmist says that as powerful, scary, and impressive as that storm may be.  God is mightier than the storm.  He is mightier than the thundering of many waters, more powerful than the fiercest waves of the sea.

Storm of life will come, but we trust in One Who is mightier than those storms.

Keep safe, be well, and stay encouraged.
