Green Verses: a series which seeks to highlight scriptures that point to God as the Creator, His sovereignty over the earth, His redemption of the earth, and our call to participate in that redemption. Take a moment and reflect on what God might be saying through His Word.

 

Psalm 95:3-6

For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.  In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also.  The sea is his, for he made it, and the dry land, which his hands have formed.  O come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!

As today is World Oceans Day, it is fitting that we take a look at God’s sovereignty over the sea. Did you know that in the Ancient Near East the sea was representative of chaos? The waters were something that could not be controlled, thus a source of fear and chaos. For this reason, it is so important that God was the creator and controller of the waters. He alone is sovereign over all the elements of creation. As we celebrate World Oceans Day at a time when uncertainty and problems surround the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, let us not forget that the God we serve is in control. The same God that created those waters is able to restore those waters. Please join us as we call upon that same God.
