Turbulence and calm

Psalm 33


⁷ He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle;
   he put the deeps in storehouses. 

What was turbulence and distress on Thursday is now stillness and calm.

God is our Creator and Lord as much as he is the wild ocean.
8  Lets us fear him and stand in awe of him 

¹⁸ Truly the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
   on those who hope in his steadfast love, 

²⁰ Our soul waits for the Lord;
   he is our help and shield. 
²¹ Our heart is glad in him,
   because we trust in his holy name. 
²² Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
   even as we hope in you.

To me these verses are a forerunner for the comforting passages in Romans chapter 8. Proof that God is consitendt and working his purpose out.

Romans 8:28 We know that all things work together for good^* for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. 
³⁷No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. ³⁸For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, ³⁹nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
