Roar of Your Waterfalls

Meigs Falls, Little River Road, Great Smoky Mountain National Park
Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me.
By day the Lord commands his steadfast love, and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life.
Psalm 42:7-8, ESV

You can hear the roar of the waterfalls as soon as you open the car door at the pull off.  Even though they are set off from the road you still hear them.  Powerful waterfalls can fill us with a sense of awe but also danger. One wrong step, one slip on wet rocks, and we could be swept away.

When we come upon times of trouble in our lives we can feel like we are going to be swept away. Even though the writer of this psalm felt overcome by the waves he still knew that the waterfalls were God’s waterfalls. Instead of looking at the power of the waves he remembers the steadfast love of God and even in his darkest night he sings the song God gave him to sing.

Prayer
Creator of Waterfalls
When we face difficult times and feel like we are being swept away, remind us to look to your steadfast love. For it was you who made the waterfalls and you who will bear us safely through them.
Amen
