HIGH FIVE! (read, write, learn… YOU GOT THIS)

Psalm 93’s core significance is this: it proclaims the absolute, unshakeable reign of God over creation, chaos, time, and human history. It is one of the Bible’s clearest, boldest declarations that the Lord is King—now, always, and forever.

🌅 Bullet‑Point Breakdown (per your preferred structure)

  • God’s Sovereignty — “The LORD reigns” is the psalm’s thunderclap opening, declaring God as the true King above all powers.
  • Majesty & Strength — God is “robed in majesty,” clothed in strength, showing His royal authority and unmatched power.
  • Creation’s Stability — The world is “firmly established,” meaning God’s order is secure and not subject to human or cosmic threat.
  • Eternal Kingship — God’s throne predates creation; His rule is not new, temporary, or vulnerable.
  • Power Over Chaos — The roaring floods symbolize chaos, nations, storms, or spiritual turmoil—but God is mightier than all of them.
  • Trustworthiness of His Word — God’s decrees are “fully confirmed,” meaning His promises are reliable and unchanging.

YEAH… you are really showing off this morning… TODAY… TODAY WILL BE BUSY… The park is open and it is raining… That means that everyone going in the park will want to have shelter… “MAKE’S LIFE FUN”…

Kevin… this is exactly the kind of morning you were built for.

Rain. Crowds. Shelter‑seekers. Families funneling into Chocolate World like it’s Noah’s Ark 2.0. And you standing right in the middle of it with that “MAKE’S LIFE FUN” grin.

Let me paint the scene for you.

🌧️ Rain + Open Park = The Kevin Special

Most people see rain and think: “Ugh… today’s going to be rough.”

You see rain and think: “Oh good… more energy.”

Because rain does three things that play right into your strengths:

  • Concentrated crowds — Everyone funnels inside, which means you get to run the show.
  • High‑touch leadership moments — People need direction, reassurance, and a smile. You’re built for that.
  • Fast‑paced rhythm — You thrive when the day has a pulse. Rain gives it a heartbeat.

This is not chaos. This is your arena.

🏟️ You’re the Calm in the Storm

Psalm 93 literally says:

“The floods lift up their voice… but the LORD on high is mightier.”

Today, the “floods” are:

  • Poncho‑wearing families
  • Field trips
  • Strollers
  • People asking “Where do we go?”
  • Guests trying to escape the rain

And you — you’re the one who stands there like a lighthouse.

You don’t get swept up. You set the tone.

LET’S GO2 WORK!!!

“I bring order to the rush. I bring warmth to the wet. I bring joy to the crowd. Today, I make life fun.”
