Bigger Than The Ocean

Back in high school I remember this one team we played that was their JV team. We were only freshmen. They looked really big compared to our guys. I can remember thinking to myself that they looked gigantic, and I wondered how we would beat them. Somehow we did beat them 6-0, but I always remembered that game and one play where a guy hit me on a kickoff and I went flying. I think it has stayed with me all these years because of the size difference, yet we won. This morning as I was praying I was directed to the Psalms, and the psalm I read reminded me that no matter how big the opposition is, our God is bigger.

Psalms 93:1 The Lord reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the Lord is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.
2 Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.
3 The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
4 The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
5 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O Lord, for ever.

For me, I can see life as an ocean of huge waves at times. I can wonder at just how we will navigate one situation or another. The answer is our God is far above and big problem we may face. He will deliver us, just as He always has. His work is sure, and He will complete His work in us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You as the One True God. You alone are worthy of our praise today. We thank You for the work of Your hands. We praise You as You are on High above any ocean of problems we may bring to You. We ask today that You forgive us when we do not believe, when we give place to our fears, and ask You help us overcome these things. Please send today Your deliverance, healing, and abundant provision. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
