Psalms 107:28-30 -- On Storms and Havens

"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 107:28-30


I like this one literally and symbolically. We know that the Lord can calm the sea, because he did so for his disciples during his earthly ministry. I think this works for all of us though, even if the storm is just within our minds and/or hearts. We cry unto the Lord in our trouble, and he delivers us from our distress... physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual... he is always there offering safety and quiet in the middle of the storms. And even though we often desire different havens, he helps us to shore in our own individual lives, and helps us find what we see as a place of safety.

Today, let's look to the Lord for help in the midst of our storms, and have faith that he can calm them and see us through to our desired haven. :)
