Precious Gifts - Week 17
The Land and the Sea
Genesis 1: 9-10 (NLT)
"9. Then God said, "Let the waters beneath the sky flow together into one place, so dry ground may appear. And that is what happened. 10. God called the dry ground "land" and the waters "seas." And God saw that it was good."
When I read the gathering of the waters, it brought to mind how we gather the Word of God together to understand what is being said. Then we meet other Christians and searchers and gather together to praise, fellowship and learn. And just like the sea, we become stronger.
Psalm 93: 3-4
"3. The floods have risen up, O Lord. The floods have roared like thunder; the floods have lifted their pounding waves. 4. But mightier than the raging of the seas, mightier than the breakers on the shore - The LORD is mightier than these!"
Just as the seas get storms, some severe, so do Christ's followers as Satan tries to rob us of our faith. But Jesus promised to be with us, even to the end of the world, and no-one can snatch us from God's hand.
So let us thank the Lord for creating the sea, later to be a home for the fish. How useless would be a ship if there were no seas?
How wonderful to watch waves lapping up to the shore. God is Good. God is mightier than any storm.
God Bless.
