Psalm 93:3-5 ‘The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.’

DAILY READING; 2 Corinthians 4:1-5:10; 2 Kings 17; Micah 6

A publication by “Calvary Life Fellowship” on 27 January 2005 shared the miraculous stories of people saved from the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
One of these stories is that of Uma who is a member of the Believers Church in Tamil Nadu, India.
Uma had a habit of taking her Bible wherever she went.
On December 26, 2004, she took her Bible with her as usual, when she went to draw water at the river. While talking with a man and young woman from the village, she saw the huge waves of the tsunami sweeping inland only a few yards away.
As the waves descended on them and swept them away, Uma and the other two people clung together.
Uma still gripping her Bible, cried out to the Lord to rescue them. They held on to a palm tree, however it was uprooted and they were swept with it for miles. Eventually, the young woman grew weak, and she died holding Uma’s hand.
The waters kept carrying Uma and eventually also she was separated from the young man.
Uma grabbed hold of a damaged boat that floated near her. Amazingly, she realized it was her own fishing boat. She held onto this boat until a helicopter pilot spotted her and rescued her. It had been ten hours since the wave swept them away.
Though Uma sustained some injuries, she miraculously survived. When News correspondents visited and spoke with her a month later, she was still clutching her beloved Bible, thanking the Lord for His saving grace and amazing deliverance.

Sometimes in life, stormy situations, just like a tsunami, can suddenly sweep into a believer’s life. At such moments, holding on to God’s Word is the sure way to overcome and triumph over every wave of trials.
Despite how intimidating any situation , God’s Word assures us that when we walk through the waters it will not overwhelm us [Isaiah 43].
If health challenges, financial troubles or relationship problems seem to loom large and insurmountable, always remember that God is stronger and mightier than those floods.

Psalm 93:3-5 says ‘The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.’

One of the mysteries of science is that the mighty oceans do not overflow the earth. The Earth is known as “the water planet” because over seventy percent of the earth’s surface is made up of ocean water. On the contrary, sand is only about 20 percent of the earth’s surface. Yet interestingly, the greater oceans are kept in check from overflowing by the lesser sand.
We can find the answer to this mystery in Jeremiah 5:21 where God’s says ‘Fear ye not Me?” saith the Lord. “Will ye not tremble at My presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it; and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?’

Indeed though the ocean may be greater and more powerful, yet God has ordained that the sand would keep the ocean in its boundaries. The ocean may roar and pound the sand with its waves, but because of God’s decree, the sand will not be overpowered. Even if the ocean overflows its banks, it is only a matter of time before it returns back to its boundaries, kept in check by the sands on the shore.

Likewise, though tough situations may look bigger and more powerful than you, yet God’s Word in your heart is an everlasting ordinance that will ever keep that situation in check. His Word is like rock in your heart that ensures that your house never falls, despite the storms.
Though the enemy may come against you like a flood, the Spirit of God will lift up a standard against him.
As you keep holding on to God’s Word, you are guaranteed the victory. As long as you stand in faith, you will never fall.
No matter the challenge you may face today, find the relevant Scriptures to stand on and keep believing God for your miracles.
If the flood comes against you through sickness, stand firm on God’s Word and declare “I will live and not die. The number of my days God will fulfill.”
If the flood comes through financial problems, stand strong and declare ‘My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory..’
If the attack comes through family problems, boldly declare ‘No evil shall befall me neither shall any plague come near my household. Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders.’
Indeed as you stand firm in faith, God’s promises over you will prevail. The plans of the wicked will fail. Every wave coming against you will return back to sender. And you will emerge victorious and triumphant soaring higher and greater than ever.

PRAYERS;
Father I thank You that no matter what I may face, You alone have the final say over my life. Thank You Lord for upholding me through the power of Your Word and enabling me to always triumph over every storm of life in Jesus Name.
