The rivers lift up, the rivers lift up their voice. O jehovah! the rivers lift up their roaring Psalm 93:3
Other translations talk about the seas or the floods, it all is about water. But what is this water? Why is water important? Water is huge in our understanding of who God is and who we are in God. Water is the thing that a lot of us would say is what makes us a part of the community of God. Our baptisms are what make us a part of the kingdom… (now I could say not, as the Bible does not tell us the disciples were baptized nor the thief on the cross, so there is some question on if baptism actually is what brings us into the kingdom, but I will not argue that baptism and water are important.)
But what does this verse say about water? The rivers lift up, the rivers lift up their voice. O jehovah! the rivers lift up their roaring. The voice here is the annunciation of truth, the speaking forth of God’s love and mercy and truth to all the world. It is rising up and roaring in the world, and how is that? The rivers lift up their voices, and the rushing water delivers God’s love. Water and light are important, and in our baptisms we receive a candle and are called? The light of the world. We are the light that Christ gives us and we are to take that roaring into the world, allowing God to speak through us.
So be the part of the mission of God you are, spreading the light and roaring water of His truth flowing through you to the world around you. Be the roaring truth of His love in the world.
