Why do you not tremble in my presence? I, the Lord, am the one who defines the ocean’s sandy shoreline, and everlasting boundary that the waters cannot cross. The waves may toss and roar, but they can never pass the bounds I set. – Jeremiah 5:22

If you think about the geography of Israel with its entire western border exposed to the Mediterranean Sea, and historically surrounded by the mighty empires of Egypt, Syria, and Rome, it’s easy to understand that the ocean to the ancient Israelite was a symbol of danger and peril. There weren’t too many times when something good would have shown up on their shores.

God is the master of the sea. As Jesus demonstrated on a few occasions the waves obey Him. He is powerful and strong. When God tells the water to not cross a certain boundary, they obey. Do you know that God will never burden you with a situation that you can’t handle with His strength? He has defined the boundary where the Enemy is not allowed to cross. With the waves and the tide and some of the bad storms that come our way, it’s hard for us to see exactly where that boundary is, but it’s there. God has set it.

Lord, we praise You because You are mighty. You keep the evil in this world at bay and protect Your children from being overtaken. God thank you for being in control of all things. You are the Great One. Amen.
