The Lord gives his people strength; the Lord blesses his people with peace. —Psalm 29:11
Whatever the storm or flood, whether we’re feeling ourselves being dragged under by life’s problems and pressures or just fearing how much worse they could get, we can still live with “strength” and “peace.”
Amazing. How can such seemingly contradictory experiences coexist?
Storms and strength? Floods and peace? How can the many varieties of troubles we may face, whether in society at large or in the lives we lead at home or at work, result in something other than debilitating distress and panic?
The answer? Heaven rules. The storms and floods of life happen beneath Him, not above Him. Though their waters swell, He is in charge of how far they can reach. And just as surely as He’s stirred up those waves, He can also cause them to be still (Psalm 107:25, 29).
This doesn’t mean the floods are not dangerous. But it does mean the floods are not final.
