Roaring Waters (Şile) & Robed Majesty (on High)


  I may blog some highlights from our time visiting Şile with family. However, the waves provided insight into  passages of Scripture which have never stood out to me before: the ones about the roaring of waters and the charcter of God. Then, I 'stumbled upon' the psalm below. I'll include my two observations as captions for the pictures.

The roar of the waves is constant and unfading, only our consciousness of it fades.

            The LORD reigns; he is robed in majesty;
                        the LORD is robed; he has put on strength as his belt.
            Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.
            Your throne is established from of old;
                        you are from everlasting.
           
            The floods have lifted up, O LORD,
                        the floods have lifted up their voice;
                        the floods lift up their roaring.
            Mightier than the thunders of many waters,
                        mightier than the waves of the sea,
                        the LORD on high is mighty!
           
            Your decrees are very trustworthy;
                        holiness befits your house,
                        O LORD, forevermore.

                       (Psalm 93 ESV, emphasis added)

Before the roar of the waters, minor sounds fade or disappear.
