Psalms 32:6-7
Therefore let everyone who is godly
offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found;
surely in the rush of great waters,
they shall not reach him.
You are a hiding place for me;
you preserve me from trouble;
you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah
Tag: Security
We have all been, one time or another, in a "rush of great waters." When the torrent of life is such that it collapses our lives and implodes our false walls of security. We have seen pictures of floods simply wash away entire towns. Structures we thought were a sure foundation are wiped away like a mother wipes the cookies crumbs off the cupboard. We have seen the same things in the lives of people who trust in spouses, jobs and savings. They can all simply crumble under the troubles of life. In the above text we read the solution to the rushing waters: Security in God. When we pray to Him we find a "hiding place" that is secure from ALL storms. He "preserves" us from trouble and "surround" us with "shouts of deliverance." We have shouts of deliverance. The "shouts" are probably, in this context, "songs" of deliverance. But, the translation of "shouts" is an emphatic emphasis of what it is like to be delivered and rescued. We will sing and shout of His great deliverance when we walk in the path of prayer. God delivers us from the storms of life as we come to Him in prayer and acknowledge His rule and power.
