MIGHTIER THAN THESE
Today's reading: Psalm 93-95

"The mighty oceans have roared, O Lord. The mighty oceans roar like thunder; the mighty oceans roar as they pound the shore. But mightier than the  breakers on the shore--the Lord above is mightier than these!" Psalm 93:3-4 NLT

My Bible tells me the author of this particular psalm is unknown.

What is known about the author is that he had at one time in his life stood on the shores of the ocean. He had heard the breaking tide. He had quite possibly been dampened by the seaspray. He had, in regards to what he writes here, heard the crashing waves. He had stood and watched the waves pummel the rocks along the beach.

He was possibly mesmerized.

Maybe even awed?

Perhaps overwhelmed?

Fearful?

Captivated?

Fascinated?

Whatever emotions is evoked, it all led this psalmist to praise.

Do the things that capture our attention lead us to praise our God?

Do we consider what stands before us as big, but our God even bigger?

Mightier than these, the psalm writer said.  Mightier than these.
