Yes, I know the LORD is great, and our God is superior to all gods. He does whatever He pleases – in heaven, on earth, in the seas and all the ocean depths. Psalms 135:5-6
A trip to the ocean is so soothing, calming, peaceful. Its very sound brings healing to my soul. Palm trees coming into view are exciting. Our family loves to roll the windows down when we’re finally close enough to smell the salt air.
Standing in the sand, listening to the waves crash I sense God’s presence. The sky is gigantic and wide open – it makes me feel small. He speaks to me here- I feel closer.
But there’s another side to the endless watery horizon. Rain, wind, dark clouds and huge surf send most of us running for cover. A lightening storm can be pretty terrifying.
From every angle, I find word pictures of the Almighty’s power and might. He is God and I am not. Yet just like each grain of sand… and star in the sky, He sees me and knows me. He’s promised I am loved. The very idea is unfathomable.
Comforting and rejuvenating right along side an untamable, unstoppable force – the sea itself helps explain this Ruler of heaven, Creator of earth, Inventor of water. He is God snd there is no other!
