139:9-10
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall Thy hand lead me, and Thy right hand shall hold me.
Psa. 139:9, 10
An old mariner’s chart of the coast of North America and adjacent waters, made by an unknown cartographer in 1525, now in the British Museum, has some interesting but fearful directions on it. The mapmaker wrote across great expanses of unexplored land and sea the following inscriptions: “Here be giants!”, “Here be fiery scorpions!”, and “Here be dragons!” At some time in its career this chart fell into the hands of the scientist and explorer Sir John Franklin, a believer, who scratched out the fearful markings, and wrote in their place: “Here be God! GOD IS EVERYWHERE!”
