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.
Life comes at you, sometimes in overwhelming fashion, like the mighty waves of the sea. But knowing that our God is an ever-present help in trouble, and that He is mightier than the mighty waves of the sea, our perspective should not be darkened. As the poet, William Cowper, has written, the [waves] “are big with mercy and shall break with blessings on thy head.”
