Whenever there is a threat of hurricane or extensive
rainfall in Jamaica there are some locations where the inhabitants are
anxiously warned to evacuate in order to avert certain disaster. Sometimes when
you watch world news casts and you see footage for major flood rains, you get
keen sense of the terrifying force of water when you see cars floating like
plastic toys and entire houses torn from their foundation. You sometimes see
towering trees that become felled and the equilibrium of life becomes
distorted. Few things there are that can defy the deadly force of flood waters.
When flood waters come you just have to wait it out and hope you survive.
What an awesome description and testimony David gives of
God's accomplishments through him, “God has broken through my enemies by my
hand like a breakthrough of water.” 1 Chron. 14: 11. That is how invincible we
become with God by our side. Little wonder then that there was the fear of David
among all the nations around - he was a "terrible" flood.
But here's a glorious inconsistency with water that is worth
noting, "When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will
lift up a standard against him." Isa 59: 19. Praise the Lord, not all
flood waters are worth the worry.
