  “ The floods have lifted up, O Lord, The floods have lifted up their voice; The floods lift up their waves. The Lord on high is mightier Than the noise of many waters, Than the mighty waves of the sea. Your testimonies are very sure; Holiness adorns Your house, O Lord, forever.” Psalms 93 : 3 - 5 NKJV “ Holiness adorns Your house, O Lord, forever ” agrees with the French philosopher’s (Blaise Pascal) account on the three orders of greatness, i.e., physical greatness, mental greatness, and holiness, that the third order is the highest. While the first order on physical greatness prides itself on riches, beauty and strength, the second order on mental greatness prides itself on intelligence, science, and art. These prides are the cause of the psalmist’s reference “ The floods have lifted up, O Lord, The floods have lifted up their voice; The floods lift up their waves“ . Actually, the essence of life is everyone’s reference and response to these prides or floods at home, workplac...

  “ The floods have lifted up, O Lord, The floods have lifted up their voice; The floods lift up their waves. The Lord on high is mightier Than the noise of many waters, Than the mighty waves of the sea. Your testimonies are very sure; Holiness adorns Your house, O Lord, forever. ” Psalms 93 : 3 - 5 NKJV Greatness has acceptable metrics on the basis of human responses to floods or the challenges of life. The French philosopher, Blaise Pascal, spoke about three orders of greatness, including (1) the superficial ‘physical greatness’ , which is measured on the basis of riches, strength, and beauty; (2) the second and higher level of greatness is the ‘intellectual greatness ’, which is measured on the basis of genius, science, and art; and (3) the third level of greatness is in the order of holiness. And by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit through the psalmist, we understand that only the third level of greatness - which is in the order of God’s gift of holiness - can withstand an...

  “The Lord on high is mightier Than the noise of many waters, Than the mighty waves of the sea. Your testimonies are very sure; Holiness adorns Your house, O Lord, forever.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭93‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ The stakes are always high in the torrents of flood. When the floods are raging high, people are usually caught screaming for safety from the noise of many waters and the mighty waves of the sea. Unfortunately, these cries and expressions of emotion are anticipated by the enemies; giving undeserved attention to the scheme of distraction, away from the presence of the Lord. But those who know the Lord are never distracted from the throne of grace; knowing only that “ But on Mount Zion there shall be deliverance, And there shall be holiness; The house of Jacob shall possess their possessions ” (‭‭Obadiah‬ ‭1‬:‭17‬). Obviously, it takes faith to share the conviction of the psalmist: “ The Lord on high is mightier Than the noise of many waters, Than the mighty waves of the sea ”. God...

http://bible.us/psa93.4.nkjv The Lord on high is mightier Than the noise of many waters, Than the mighty waves of the sea. ‎If noise had been restricted to the making of unwanted sound at home, workplace or in the midst of any assembly of people, the choice of temporary relocation would be a simple decision. Whereas, noise in life can be a built-in statement of fear, barring human focus on a simple purpose for living. Obviously, focus on noise is designed to distract man from acknowledging and fulfilling the purpose of His Creator. What a built-in statement of faith in God by the Psalmist, despite the overwhelming challenges against the counsel of God for his life? Even when the heart is overwhelmed with the waves of many troubles, the throne of mercy can never be overwhelmed by the threat of the wicked in the affairs of the righteous. However, the heaven awaits a focussed faith of the righteous in the strength of the Lord.
