Psalm of Comfort~#8~Ps.29:3,4

The voice of the LORD is over the waters;
The God of glory thunders;
The LORD is over many waters.
The voice of the LORD is powerful;
The voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

Some of us are in 'over our heads.'
The waters of sickness, financial disaster, family difficulties, etc. threaten to overwhelm us.
But The Lord is over these waters.
He thunders in a voice that is powerful and majestic.
He says, " Fear Not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name; You are Mine.
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
when you walk through the fire,
you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.
For I am the Lord your God.."
(Isaiah 43:1-3)
I like that He used the word "through."
The Waters and the Fire are not a place of permanence.
We go "through" them and He encourages and commands us
not to fear because He is with us.

Peter says it this way in 1Peter 5:10~
"But may the God of all grace,
who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus,
after you have suffered a while,
perfect, establish, strengthen,
and settle you."

The most important truth to remember is that He is always with us. He will never leave us or forsake us.
We might be going through the waters, or be suffering for a while, or we might be having a time of peace and be established and strengthened in our lives. Regardless, He is with us.
He knows what it is like to be all alone, and He is not about to let anyone else go through that.

It is true that we live and move and have our being in Him.
But it is also true that He lives and moves and has His being in us.

Be still and know that He is God.
Be still and know that He is.
Be still and know.
Be still.
Be.
