Psalm 29:10-11 (KJV): "The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever. The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace."
Sovereign Over the Storm
The psalmist tells us “The LORD sitteth upon the flood…” God is in charge of everything, even the storms; He is the Sovereign over the Storm. That word “Sovereign” simply means he is the a supreme ruler. It's like when you're stuck in a car wash, and you can't see anything because of all the soap and water. It feels chaotic, but you know there's a process, and soon you'll be out clean and shiny. Just like that, God sits on the flood, meaning He's in control of all the chaos in our lives. Even when things seem out of control, remember, God is sitting on top, steering the whole thing.
Strength in Struggles
The psalmist goes on to say “The LORD will give strength unto his people…” God gives us strength when we need it the most. Think of it like having a secret stash of candy that you pull out when you need a pick-me-up. God's strength is like that candy—always there when you need it. He knows when we are struggling, and He promises to give us the strength to get through. So, next time you feel weak or tired, remember God has got a stash of strength just for you.
Serenity and Solitude
The Psalmist closes this statement with “...the LORD will bless his people with peace.” God doesn't just leave us with strength; He blesses us with peace too… That’s what Serenity and Solitude really means. Imagine you're on a wild roller coaster, and just when you think you can't take it anymore, it slows down, and you feel the calm. That's what God's peace is like. After the chaos and the struggle, He gives us a deep sense of peace, Serenity… Solitude. It's like the calm after a storm. So, trust in God's promises. After every storm, there is peace that only He can give.
In summary, God is sovereign over every storm, gives us strength in our struggles, and blesses us Serenity and Solitude.. Let's hold on to these promises and trust Him, even when life feels like a wild ride. Remember, God's got this!
