The Awesome Ruler Of Sea And Sky

Having visited South Padre Island (see video) several times, my late wife and I immensely enjoyed viewing the Gulf of Mexico, experiencing the sand between our toes as we walked along its beaches. In the aftermath of recent hurricanes, it seemed the water took on an ominous dark blue color, nearly indigo against the bright morning sky. The inkiness stretches out against the horizon, as far as the eye can see.

My thoughts ponder the idea of how the ocean reflects God who made itdeep, boundless, powerful, unfathomable — both reassuring and fearsome — at once familiar and yet, in many ways inscrutable. As well and as thoroughly as man has explored the oceans of the earth, we have touched only a fraction of their depths. Though we are dependent upon it for life, to a great degree, it remains a mystery to man.

From the beginning of time, there’s good reason why God has repeatedly demonstrated His supremacy over all things by exerting His power over the sea.

See why here.
