Awesome God


Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord. (Psalm 114:7)

Back and forth, back and forth go the pounding waves of the sea. From ages past, the continents have been separated by the mighty oceans. Man has learned to travel over them, to descend to the bottom of them, and to travel through them--but their immensity and the relentless force of their waves remain untameable. Rocks are crushed, shorelines are changed, and even experienced sailors can be driven aground or sent to the bottom of the sea...

But the seas are no problem for God. The One who created the mighty oceans does with them what He wishes.... When the turbulent seas of adversity are threatening, we need to remember the awesome power of God.
