Scripture: Psalm 89:9

The book of Psalms is the hymnal and prayer book of ancient Israel – the people of God we read about in the Old Testament. Even though the Psalms were written thousands of years ago, they still sound good to us today to help us express our joy, troubles, fears, anger, and even wonder. They are our songs to God! Today’s psalm reminds us of God’s great power to control things that are overpowering, like the crashing of waves and the feelings of uncertainty that we might be having right now. We give thanks to God for caring for us when we might feel hopeless and afraid in the “storms� that rage around us.
