waterfalls and waves

Psalm 42:7-8 (JDV)

Psalm 42:7 Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have swept over me.

Psalm 42:8 Yahveh will send his faithful love by day; his song will be with me in the night – a prayer to the God of my life.

waterfalls and waves

As I write this, I remember living in a small village in New England, beside a river. That river could be reduced to a tiny brook one day, but be a raging flood the next. Many times I thought that the river would overflow its banks in the night, and my family would be swept away without our even knowing what was happening. Such was the power of the flowing water.

The psalmist pictured the faithful love of God as waterfalls and waves. They are majestic, yet massive. The most memorable thing about them is that they are always there, just flowing. Day and night, the psalmist will remember that God’s faithful covenant love is there with him, just like the flowing water.

Lord, thank you for your faithful love.
