The floods and our Father

I woke up this morning to rain, and not a gentle patter. It was a hard shower accompanied by loud thunder. It continued to rain as I read Psalms 92 as part of my feed-my-spirit-time, in preparation for today. I was captivated by the following verses:

 

The LORD reigns, He is clothed in majesty.

The LORD is clothed,

He has girded Himself with strength...

Your throne is established from of old;

You are from everlasting.

 

The floods have lifted up, O LORD

The floods have lifted up their waves.

The LORD on high is mightier

Than the noise of many waters,

Than the mighty waves of the sea."

 

 

I exhaled a breath I did not even know I was holding.

 

The LORD reigns. His throne is established from of old. He is from everlasting. He is mightier than the floods.  Selah.

 

Whatever this day holds, whatever shape the floods may take today - rejection, criticism, stress, hurt, anxiety, temptation - the LORD who reigns, and has made you and I His own, He is mightier than the floods. Furthermore, He has promised to be with us when we pass through the waters and through the rivers, and assures us that neither will overflow us (Isaiah 43:2).  Thank You, Abba. 

 

Be encouraged siblings and remind the floods that your Father reigns.

"Nothing is wasted"

A beautiful, healing, encouraging song by Jason Gray. I pray that you will be encouraged and strengthened. The lyrics are given below the video.

“Nothing is Wasted”

The hurt that broke your heart
And left you trembling in the dark
Feeling lost and alone
Will tell you hope's a lie
But what if every tear you cry
Will seed the ground where joy will grow

And nothing is wasted
Nothing is wasted
In the hands of our Redeemer
Nothing is wasted

It's from the deepest wounds
That beauty finds a place to bloom
And you will see before the end
That every broken piece is
Gathered in the heart of Jesus
And what's lost will be found again

Nothing is wasted
Nothing is wasted
In the hands of our Redeemer
Nothing is wasted

From the ruins
From the ashes
Beauty will rise
From the wreckage
From the darkness
Glory will shine
Glory will shine
