DAILY VITAMIN
- King Even In The Storm
"The Lord sits enthroned above the flood! The LORD reigns as king forever!" (Psalm 29:10 NIV)
Our theme scripture states "The Lord sitteth upon the flood..." It may seem like a metaphor, but literally and figuratively, it is the only reality that is. Please come with me into this frame of mind where you can just see the picture of that statement--God sitting upon a raging flood.
An awesome view, isn't it?
It depicts peace and assurance in troubled times. For instance, consider Jesus sleeping in a ship turbulent by the raging sea. In spite of the fierceness of the disaster, it couldn't even disturb Him. Though His disciples were, yet He wasn't, because He is King even over the Storm; and proved it by bringing calm to the sea.
In other words, that statement is a proof of assurance that we who trust in Him in the storm can be sure of unscathed security. The Bible says when we trust in Him in times like this, the appearance may be scary in a way, but He will keep us firm and immovable like Mount Zion (Psalm 125:1). We are also told that men in times past did the same and were completely saved (Psalm 22:5); and that while others trusted in their personal designed armory and failed, those who trusted in the LORD rose back to glory (Psalm 20:7-8). No wonder Isaiah wrote "This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength..." (Isaiah 30:15 NIV).
I don't know what you may be going through, but I do know you can trust the LORD to bring you out of it in glory. Remember, He is a strong tower and those that find refuge in Him are safe. And even when waves of thousands fall at your side, He will keep you secured; for even in the storm He assures us of peace, because He is King over the storm.
