“The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.” — Psalms‬ ‭93:3‬ ‭

What do you do when you find yourself threatened by the floods of wickedness? Do what the psalmist did. He looked at the God’s throne (vv.1-2). No waves or floods can disturb the throne of God. But often we don’t look high enough. We see the flood, but we don’t see God. We see the waves getting higher and higher, and we don’t lift up our eyes by faith and see the eternal, established, secure, strong throne of God.

The psalmist also heard God’s testimonies (v.5). He didn’t listen to the sound of the waves. Today, you might hear a lot of threatening sounds. Don’t pay any attention to them. The Psalmist heard God’s testimonies and said, “I can trust the Word of God.” This psalm also reminds me of Peter when he walked on the water (see Matt.14:28:31). He took his eyes off the Lord and forgot His promise. Jesus said to him, “Come”. That’s all Peter needed. He should have said to himself, “If Jesus says, ‘Come,’ I can come” — because His commandments are always His empowerment.

God’s throne is established, and His testimony is sure. When you see the flood approaching, lift your eyes higher to see the throne of God and open your ears to hear His Word. Put your faith to work and trust His promises of strength and power.
