Re:Verse passage – Psalm 93:1-5 (day five)
We end our study in the Psalms with two great truths: The Lord Reigns and The Floods Roar (lift up their voice and waves). God’s throne is set side by side with the sea (vs 4). Makes us feel small and not in control (of either). Most of us don’t like that at all. Yet, here we are, small and in the midst of two great truths- neither of which we can predict or regulate. What I notice about this Psalm- there’s no first person. No human mention. These are both larger and longer truths and realities. God’s sovereignty (Throne) and evil/suffering (floods/sea).
However, one is immeasurably greater than the other. The Throne and Sea are seen again side by side in the Scriptures. Revelation 4. The sea looks completely different. Completely conquered. Does that bring assurance and hope? It should. There is always more hope than trouble found in the scriptures. There will always be both. But we will always need to be reminded of the eternal hope and power of the Lord.
