Read this Psalm and read Matthew 14. The lament at the start of the Psalm brings to mind John the Baptist in his imprisonment yet he must have been comforted, as the Psalmist was, remembering the works of the Lord. Jesus fed a great multitude with a few loaves and fishes demonstrating that He is the God that does wonders. In so doing, Jesus declared His power to redeem us. As the disciples struggled to cross the sea in the storm these verses come alive:

"The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled. The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook." When they saw Him walking on the water this verse must have been in their minds: "Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known." Jesus is God Almighty, this was recognized by the disciples and they worshiped Him. Lord Jesus please keep us, who have placed our trust in you, to believe in you in spite of pain and trouble or whatever comes our way. Bless you Lord Jesus and blessed be your holy name!
