He is so good to us! He gives us Spiritual gifts that are so precious-anointing that allows us to accomplish what we never could on our own.
The ocean is so
huge, I strain
to see something
out there.
Looking closely
I see a boat,
that I know is
large, yet seems
so small in t
he
distance. The
clouds seem
smaller, the sea
gulls and the
other birds are
small. I again
am in awe of how
this relates to
God in my life.
God is as vast
as the ocean, He
is huge, all
consuming,
compared to Him
everything is so
small. He is
more powerful
than the tide
and more
cleansing than
the water. He is
a great and
mighty God.
“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows and proclaims His handiwork. Psalm 19:1

"For since the
creation of the
world His
invisible nature
and attributes
have been made
clearly
intelligible
through the
things that have
been made. (His
handiworks).
Romans 1:20
Standing on the
beach, wind
blowing through
my hair, the
sound of the
waves splashing
up on shore, the
sand under my
feet and the
misty fog that
comes with a
warm morning,
I’m still amazed
at the awesome
way God reveals
things to me.
I watch as the
waves of the
high tide sweep
away all the
marks of the
past. The
footprints that
were there in
the sand just a
second ago, are
now gone. I bend
over to
write
in the sand and
a wave comes,
now my letters
are very faint,
another wave and
they are
completely gone.
The
waves don’t just
take away or
clean up, they
also at times
leave gifts on
the shore. They
leave shells and
sponges for me
to collect and
investigate.
They reveal sand
dollars that
were just
underneath the
sand in the
water, but as
the waves pull
back and the
tide goes out,
all of these
treasures are
revealed for me
to enjoy.
The same way God is with us, every morning He sweeps through with new mercy, we pray and He forgives and forgets our sins and leaves us with a clean slate. The Holy Spirit blows in our lives and shows and teaches us practical applications on the Word to use in our everyday lives. God does even more than this though, He leaves us with treasures, gifts we can enjoy. He blesses us with favor as we go through our day, with people that love us, friends and family, a home, a job, children-
