PREVIEW: What are you facing today? A demanding boss at work? An impenetrable clique at school? A depleting ailment in your body? An unsolvable problem in your finances? A looming disaster in your family? What is the gathering storm in your life right now? It is pretty intimidating, I would imagine. Storms are like that. But here’s the deal: God was there before your storm got started. He will be there long after your it blows itself back into oblivion. It follows, therefore, that he will be with you as you ride out the storm. So look for him through the winds and the waves. Listen for his voice above the chaos. He is “mightier than the violent raging of the seas, mightier than the breakers on the shore—the Lord above is mightier than these!” (Psalm 93:4) Your storm, after all, compared to God, is nothing more than a tempest in a teapot.
MY JOURNEY OF WORSHIP // Psalm 93:1-2
What are you facing today? A demanding boss at work? An impenetrable clique at school? A depleting ailment in your body? An unsolvable problem in your finances? A looming disaster in your family?
What is the gathering storm in your life right now? It is pretty intimidating, I would imagine. Storms are like that. They rise up as if to consume you: “The floods have risen up, O Lord.” They dominate your world and color your entire view of life: “The floods have roared like thunder.” They batter every fiber of your existence: “The floods have lifted up their pounding waves.” (Psalm 93:3)
But here’s the deal: God was there before your storm got started. He will be there long after that storm blows itself back into oblivion. It follows, therefore, that he will be with you as you ride out the storm. So look for him through the winds and the waves. Listen for his voice above the chaos. He is “mightier than the violent raging of the seas, mightier than the breakers on the shore—the Lord above is mightier than these!” (Psalm 93:4)
No matter what the storm, small or big—and they are all big, from the perspective of them in the midst of them—you are not alone. There is One with you who is higher and mightier than your storm—so high and mighty that he makes your worst hurricane nothing more than a tempest in a teapot!
Got a storm? Make yourself a cup of tea just to remind the storm of Who’s in charge!
