Raging Seas

              

              This season is probably by far the hardest one to go through. Especially for me. It’s in these times that I have such a hard time seeing God and what He’s doing. Yet in His word, it reveals God’s plan.

“Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen.” (Psalm 77:19)

            

         God has a plan when He leads us through those unknown waters, yet we still can’t completely comprehend His ways. He’s our help and our rock of refuge in the raging seas. When David was fleeing from Saul, God was His continual protection and hiding place. In His raging seas David praised God saying in Psalm 46,

“God is our refuge and strength,

an ever-present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way

and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

though its waters roar and foam

and the mountains quake with their surging.       

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,

the holy place where the Most High dwells.

God is within her, she will not fall;

God will help her at break of day.

Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;

he lifts his voice, the earth melts.”

                God’s amongst us in our raging seas, He truly loves us. I know in the times when everything is dreary, when it’s pouring rain, God sends that golden beam of sunshine to shine through it all and create a beautiful rainbow. That rainbow reminds me that He keeps His promises, and that He’ll always be with me, even in the storm.
