Girded With Strength
The LORD is king, he is robed in
majesty; the LORD is robed, he is girded with strength. He has established the
world; it shall never be moved; your throne is established from of old; you are
from everlasting.
The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the
floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their roaring. More
majestic than the thunders of mighty waters, more majestic than the waves of
the sea, majestic on high is the LORD!
Your decrees are very sure; holiness
befits your house, O LORD, forevermore.
Psalm 93 prepares us for trouble that
may come our way in relentless waves that surge and pound our souls and break
upon us with furious force. Yet above the tempest we can take refuge in the
Bible, because we know that God, our God, the only God, is mightier than rain,
lightning, waves, earthquakes, volcanoes, or our own family life. God is with
us in good times and bad. The storms we face are in His hands to get us through
the tough times.
Know that the storm will not last
forever. Yet, while it rages, you can cling to the Lord’s promises of love and
faithfulness. Waves of trouble and grief may sweep over us, but we will not be
swept away. We will not stumble because God is holding our hand.
When adversity
is ready to strike us,
then God is most
ready to strengthen us.
