The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, than the mighty waves of the sea – Psalm 93:4
In the bible, many times, the waters refer to words and the sea refers to the world. In that context, the noise of many waters represents the noise of many words, and the mighty waves of the sea represents the collective power of the words of those in the world. The collective power of the words of people in the world tends to carry us along or overwhelm us. But rather than being swayed by the words of people or what everybody agrees with in the world, we should be swayed only by the Word of God, for it is only His voice that carries power. Only His words will never fail. When you feel overwhelmed or feel confused, take some time out from the noise of the world. Take a deep breath and go to a place where you can commune with God. Switch off social media and put your phone away. Go for a walk on a nature trail or go on a silent retreat. Make space to listen to God to hear what He is saying to you.
I will listen to Word of God and not the word of the world
