🌊 Sovereign Over the Storms

📖 Scripture:
“The Lord sits enthroned over the flood; the Lord sits enthroned as king forever. The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.” (Psalm 29:10–11, ESV)

📜 Background on the Scripture:
Psalm 29 is a powerful declaration of God’s sovereign majesty, often linked to a storm reflecting His voice and authority over creation. Verses 10–11 affirm His dominion beyond chaotic waters—both literal and metaphorical—emphasizing that His reign is eternal and unshaken. While floods symbolize turmoil, God remains enthroned, offering His people strength and peace even amidst life’s fiercest storms.

🕊️ Devotional:
Life is filled with unexpected waves—moments that shake our foundations and leave us searching for stability. Yet, Psalm 29:10–11 points us to an unshakable truth: our God reigns. He is not overwhelmed by our circumstances; He is sovereign over them.

When the storms come, we are tempted to fear, but the Lord offers His strength instead. His peace is not dependent on the absence of trouble but on His enduring presence. It’s in surrendering to His sovereignty that we find rest, trusting that He is King not only over the universe but over our personal battles.

God’s throne is never vacant. His reign is never threatened. His promise to strengthen and bless His people stands unbroken. Will you anchor yourself in this truth today?
