Pierced hands at work!
Verse for Today: Sunday, January 13, 2013
Psalms 29:10 – The Lord sits
enthroned over the flood; the Lord is enthroned as King forever.
If anyone thinks that the aberrations
in nature are a spontaneous phenomenon, he is far from reality. There is divine
control over the ups and downs in weather around us. God speaks to man through
changes in natural phenomena like rain, snow, temperature, waves, wind and
storms. God has a message of warning to the world about the way He
administrators our environment. God also has a message of protection and care to
His children through these changes. There are times when the enemy of our souls
sends storms, wind and waves to create fear and anxiety in us. But our God
interferes to send us through it all to the other side of the sea of life.
During the great flood of Noah’s times, our Lord was at the controls to speak
to the world about His judgment and at the same time saw His children through
the flood without getting hurt. He controlled the elements to create safe passage
and direction for His children. The same water used to judge the sinning world
was used to protect and guide His children for a new beginning. Today God
allows His children to go through floods, but there is a guarantee that it
would not hurt them. We don’t know for how long the flood will last, but His grace
will be upon till the very end. He provides for all our needs during the flood
and has a plan for our needs afterwards. He gives His children the peace that
passes all understanding that one of these days the flood will be over and that
they would land on dry ground. Today God speaks to His precious children that
He is enthroned as the King of their lives and the King of the whole universe to
facilitate and perpetuate their sail through the sea of life.
Dear friend, are you going
through floodwaters of life which try to engulf you? Are you unable to see the
other side of the sea of life and that there seem to be no end to floods of
crises one after the other? Is the awesomeness of the floods of pressure,
stress and tension trying to devour you? If you look back to the yesteryears of
your life, you will be able to see that events in your life have been going on
according to the divine calendar to accomplish His purpose in your life. He has
led you through flood, fire, storms, wind and waves and brought you to this
point in your life to teach you great spiritual lessons of faith, trust. He has
used your situations to test your dependence on Him. The earthly pillars on
which you put your trust would have disappointed you. But there is no
disappointment with your Lord. He knows you and your situations before the
floods started and through the flood with its fierce power. His hands are at
the control panel of this universe as well as your life. He will allow you to
go through seemingly tough situations, but these will pass away as planned by Him
to accomplish great spiritual milestones in your life. He will never take His
hands from protecting and providing for you in the heights of flood and storms.
He gives you emotional strength and courage to look at the flood and praise Him.
He will brighten your spiritual eyes to focus on His mighty hands of care and compassion
during the flood. Today you can enjoy rest and peace in the presence of your
King rather than look at the storms and the waves and be afraid. Our God is the
King of the flood, fire, waves, storms and the wind and He sees His precious
children through it all and brings them out victoriously.
Psalms 46:3 – (Therefore we
will not fear), though the waters of the sea roar and foam and the mountains
quake with their surging.
Thought for Today
When we travel with the Lord through the floods, our eyes ought to
behold His nail pierced hands which are at the controls.
