When my boys were really little, I stood with them in front of the ocean and pointed out to the vast, strong, powerful water that filled the horizon to what seemed like its very end. When I had their attention, I said, “See how big and mighty and strong the ocean is? The waves right here on the shore are so strong they knock us over with ease. Can you imagine how much stronger the water is when it gets deeper? The way the water moves, the current is so strong that I have to come get you when it moves too far away from me. It’s amazing and beautiful and strong and powerful and a little bit scary all at the same time. Do you hear the waves? That sound and what we know about the ocean, that’s what God is like! The God we serve, this is who he is: big, strong, beautiful, and a little overwhelming. But if you listen, you’ll hear him. If you look, you’ll see him. And if you respect him, he’ll be worth it.”
Today’s devotion and prayer is taken from Brooke McGlothlin’s book, Everyday Prayers for Peace: A 30-Day Devotional & Reflective Journal for Women.
