Big


I know I have mentioned the ocean before, but I am continually drawn to it. Many people are. Most of Florida's tourism is merely because it is surrounded by ocean on three sides. We love it, the sounds, the sights and the peace it brings to sit on the shore. Where else can you hang out with hundreds of people and enjoy quiet? The loudness of the waves and the eternal view of water and sky are wonderful...it is big! God is amazing, He shows himself in nature time and time again. He is big, we are drawn to him, he gives peace and in his arms the sounds of our daily lives, people, and struggles can dissapear although they are only two inches away. I think that is the real reason, saved or unsaved, we are drawn to the ocean because we need God. We like to know that something is bigger than we are, the peace is knowing that we can just sit and enjoy that eternal view and get lost in the moment of peace only God can truly give.
Psalms 36:5-7
" Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,
your justice like the ocean depths.
You care for people and animals alike, O Lord.
How precious is your unfailing love, O God!
All humanity finds shelter
in the shadow of your wings."
