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\u2019re finally close enough to smell the salt air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Standing in the sand, listening to the waves crash I sense God\u2019s presence. The sky is gigantic and wide open &#8211; it makes me feel small. He speaks to me here- I feel closer.\u00a0<br><br>But there\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From every angle, I find word pictures of the Almighty\u2019s power and might. He is God and I am not. Yet just like each grain of sand&#8230; and star in the sky, He sees me and knows me. He&#8217;s promised I am loved. The very idea is unfathomable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Comforting and rejuvenating right along side an untamable, unstoppable force &#8211; the sea itself helps explain this Ruler of heaven, Creator of earth, Inventor of water. He is God snd there is no other!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ForGlorySake! -Anna\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/forglorysake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1B7EA7CF-475E-4770-ADAE-0C1F5595123B.jpeg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6645\"\/><figcaption>Be amazed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, I know the LORD is great, and our God is superior to all gods.\u00a0 He does whatever He pleases &#8211; in heaven, on earth, in the seas and all the ocean depths.\u00a0Psalms 135:5-6\u00a0 A trip to the ocean is &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/forglorysake.com\/index.php\/2021\/06\/20\/god-of-the-ocean\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1420,8],"tags":[1349,1064,1773,1774],"class_list":["post-6643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-devotional","category-practical-life","tag-beach","tag-big-god","tag-small-me","tag-untamable"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paUt4s-1J9","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/forglorysake.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6643","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/forglorysake.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/forglorysake.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forglorysake.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forglorysake.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6643"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/forglorysake.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6643\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6646,"href":"https:\/\/forglorysake.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6643\/revisions\/6646"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/forglorysake.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forglorysake.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forglorysake.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
