Psalms 107:26-30 -- On Desired Havens

"They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.
Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven."
Psalms 107:26-30


This is basically the story of our lives, right? It illustrates the dramatic ups and downs we go through, and I love some of the imagery here: "their soul is melted" for instance. I think that is very relatable, and I love the end where God calms our storms and brings us to our "desired haven," which I suppose may or may not be the haven that someone else desires.

Today, in our tulmultuous, soul-melting lives, let's cry unto the Lord, and be thankful for quietness... looking forward to our desired haven.
