Crashing Waves
Original air date: June 19, 2017
When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your unfailing love, LORD, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy. Psalm 94:18-19
Sometimes we can feel it coming on. Like a person who loses their footing on a steep climb, we can feel our emotions slipping. The waves of anxiety build until they crash into our hearts and drench our souls.
Life is filled with events that cause our emotions to slip and fear to crowd in. The stuff of life is beyond our control. And it’s the lack of control that causes our emotions to implode. What do we do standing in the midst of life when we feel the fear coming on? The psalmist instructs us to turn hard toward God.
It is our loving Father who comes to our aid. As we take on the crashing waves, He keeps us standing. When our feet begin to slip, He grabs us and holds on tight. His peace passes human understanding. His comfort brings joy even in the midst of howling winds of trials. When we know God, help is not on the way; our Helper is always present with us!
Father, some people are reading this with a heart saturated by anxiety. Allow them right now to feel the calming comfort of Your Spirit. Give them a certainty of Your presence that always comes with a deep peace. Let them know that since You are for us, nothing can stand against us. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
