You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still them.

When I read this verse, I saw a great analogy.  When the waves or the storms of life threaten to mount up against us, we must remember that God rules them.  When tragedy or physical trials or emotional suffering wash over us, we must not despair because God rules over those things.  He is our Ark of Safety in any of life’s stormy seas.
