Psalm 32:6-11 “For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him. You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah. I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you. Don’t be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you. Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in the LORD. Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!”

What a reminder: the godly will be able to withstand the floods of life! But we’ll be able to withstand them by following God’s teaching and counsel, which He provides through His Word and His Spirit. We’re warned to not be like a horse or a mule that needs to be compelled to obey. Instead, we need to trust and follow, which will result in incredible joy!
