“The LORD gives strength to his people;
the Lord blesses his people with peace.”
Psalm 29:11 (NIV)
As I read this psalm written by a man who lived out his days in Israel I think of a news story that I read today in which a Jordanian bus was swept away by a flash flood in the Dead Sea area and many children were drowned and still missing.
David knew something about floods!
He knew something about storms!
In Parkdale we have people going through the storm of grieving for a spouse.
We have people going through the storm of cancer.
We have people in over their heads with spouses who reject them - going through the storm of divorce.
Can we say with David that the LORD sits enthroned above the flood?
Can we exalt Him as King over the situation we are in?
Will we look to Him for strength and peace, believing that He will give us strength and peace in the midst of the storm?
