Here
Is The Ocean, Vast And Wide,
Teeming
With Life Of Every Kind,
Both
Large And Small.
Scripture
Psalm
104
24 O Lord,
what a variety of things you have made!
In wisdom you have made them all.
The earth is full of your creatures.
In wisdom you have made them all.
The earth is full of your creatures.
Observation
Just
in case you don't know who 'Walter' is – he is the monster fish
that I try to catch in my kayak out in the Gulf of Mexico each summer
while out here at the beach. He eludes me each year … but this is a
new year!
Kathy
and I just finished a two-mile walk on the beach! And I agree with
the Psalmist when he says, “It is beautiful! O Lord, what a variety
of things you have made! … Here is the ocean, vast and wide,
teeming with life of every kind, both large (Walter) and small (what
I usually catch).”
I
have noticed that when people come to the beach they either are drawn
closer to the Lord because of all of the wonder of creation or they
act out by partying and drinking. I hope that when you have the
opportunity to spend time out at the beach it draws you closer to
your Creator.
I
have unfortunately done both in my life.
Sadly,
I remember times before I gave my life to Christ that I embarrassed
myself, Kathy, and her family by drinking alcohol and acting out
while out here at the beach. I am so glad that those days are behind
me!
Yet,
I realize that I am still a sinner saved by God's grace.
Application
I
will enjoy God's creation and I will enjoy my family this week while
we are out here at the beach!
How
about you? Will you take time to enjoy your family and all that God
has created!
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, thank You for creating the oceans and the mountains for us to
enjoy! O Lord, what a variety of things you have made! Thank You
for giving us a family to enjoy too! You are so good.
