The Floods Have Lifted Up

At approximately 2:15AM this morning, the Red River at Fargo reached 40.15 feet, breaking the highest ever recorded height of the river (40.1) in 1897.

According to the National Weather Service, the crest is expected between 41 and 42 feet on Saturday. However, due to the fact that no one has ever seen the river this high--they are struggling to accurately make a prediction--saying it could reach 43 feet on Sunday.

The LORD reigns; he is robed in majesty;
the LORD is robed; he has put on strength as his belt.
Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.
Your throne is established from of old; you are from everlasting.

The floods have lifted up, O LORD,
the floods have lifted up their voice;
the floods lift up their roaring.
Mightier than the thunders of many waters,
mightier than the waves of the sea,
the LORD on high is mighty!

Your decrees are very trustworthy;
holiness befits your house, O LORD, forevermore.

Psalm 93 (ESV)
