The Deep Blue Sea
“All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full.” Eccl. 1:77All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again. (Ecclesiastes 1:7). With its ebb and flow, its calm and its storms, swallowing down great vessels, casting up wreck and disaster, the sea is like the great world of human life — the vast waters of “peoples, and multitudes, and nations” (Rev. 17: 15), over which God sits supreme as sovereign Lord and King (Psa. 29:1010The Lord sitteth upon the flood; yea, the Lord sitteth King for ever. (Psalm 29:10)), controlling all. O what a God He is! Mighty in power, yet “rich in mercy.” (Eph. 2:44But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, (Ephesians 2:4)).
Ships and Voyages
To the Other Side
The eternal shore, to which the ling Lord accompanies His own “in the ship,” His own word, “Let us go over unto the other side,” (Luke 8:2222Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. (Luke 8:22)), makes their safety as sure as His own, and their arrival as certain as He has promised. Storms may be met, but they cannot engulf the ship in which the Lord of heaven and earth and the seas sails. How secure are all who are in and with Christ! “They shall never perish.” John 10:2828And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. (John 10:28).
Seabirds and Fishes
Birds flying about, fishes swimming beneath (Psa. 104:2525So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. (Psalm 104:25)), all known to God and such provided for by Him, tell of divine care, which is ever exercised toward all who put their trust in the living God (1 Tim. 4: 10); He never leaves nor forsakes His own (Heb. 13:55Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. (Hebrews 13:5)).
