January 19, 2019 - - Psalm 93:3-4 the LORD Who is Mighty

The floods have lifted up, O LORD,

The floods have lifted up their voice;

The floods lift up their waves.

The LORD on high is mightier

Than the noise of many waters,

Than the mighty waves of the sea.

Psalm 93:3-4 NKJV

It is likely something we never think about--the power of waves. Unless you are a surfer, you really don't think of it. Until we read of storm surges associated with hurricanes. Or we read of tsunamis. Suddenly everyone is interested in waves and their incredible power.

When looking at an average big wave, each cubic meter

of water weighs about 1 ton. If the wave is about 10 ft tall

and the lip (top) of the wave is about 20 ft long, the wave itself weighs about 410 tons, which is equal to about 315 small cars.

The LORD is mightier.

Think about the LORD, greater than the waves of all the seas. Mightier than the crashing flood waters when stirred up by storms and also many times stronger than waves empowered by whipping winds roaring over all things in their path. The Creator of the vast oceans is infinitely greater. Then see how your prayer life changes.

Increase my imagination, LORD of Power and Might! Increase my capacity for awe and wonder before Your greatness! Superior to this is Your great mercy shown to sinners by the work of Jesus Christ. More incredible is Your patient work, Spirit, in calling and bringing prodigal sons and daughters to the knowledge of the glory of Jesus our Lord and the love of our Father in heaven.

Blessed be Your Name, triune God, terrible and mightiest Sovereign. Amen.
