Mightier than the Waves

I have just returned from a weekend on the North Cornish coast with a few members of my small group from church. It was spectacular, and I feel that there may be a competitor for the North Antrim Coast as contender for favourite spot on earth. I'm hoping it won't be the last time I'm back! The photo on the right comes from the Bedruthan Steps near Mawgan Porth. We climbed down at high tide, and so the waters were surging right up to the bottom of the stone staircase, and looking a little ferocious. One of the people reminded me though of Psalm 93, which rather coincidentally was read out at church this evening:

The Lord reigns; he is robed in majesty;
the Lord is robed; he has put on strength as his belt.
Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.
Your throne is established from of old;
you are from everlasting.

The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
the floods have lifted up their voice;
the floods lift up their roaring.
Mightier than the thunders of many waters,
mightier than the waves of the sea,
the Lord on high is mighty!

Your decrees are very trustworthy;
holiness befits your house,
O Lord, forevermore.

From my perspective, these waves were pretty mighty! What an amazing God we serve! It's always nice when you experience something that allows you to appreciate such a truth anew.
