Observation

I sat this morning staring at the expansive ocean before me. As far and as wide and as deep as I can see, only water and waves. Dark grey to light blue, the sea dances in front of me.

The heavy winds today are matched only by the dark restless ocean below. Sea foam blows like tumble weeds across the drifting sands. The roar of the churning waters makes conversation impossible unless one is willing to shout and strain to hear what their partner has to say; so today is better suited for observation and inner reflection.
I love the ocean for many reasons; however I like it best perhaps, because like the mountains, it reminds me of the smallness of man and the vastness of our God.

My world so often is centered almost wholly on me and yet compared with God’s creation, I am so very small. I stretch my heart to embrace the seemingly endless water and reflect upon the fact that God who has created it is so much larger than it that He merely spoke it into being.

The foolish may believe that such beauty was born out of nothing; has evolved into such wonder, but I think such belief would require much more faith than to believe this universe of symmetry and order was created by One who is mightier than us all.

Naturally the belief in a Creator God requires man to understand that there exists someone greater than himself. It also requires Him to accept that he is not free to live without regard for His creator or His laws. I do not find such belief at all difficult. I see the wonders of His’ Creation and like David I readily proclaim; “Your creation displays your glory!” With this understanding renewed; I want to fill my place within His creation. Amen.
