Across God's Boundaries

Our Rebecca and grandboy
under the sea

"Have you no respect for Me? Why don't you tremble in My presence? I, the LORD, define the ocean's sandy shoreline as an everlasting boundary that the waters cannot cross." (Jeremiah 5:22)

Because Rebecca's sending gorgeous pictures from their visit to the Florida Keys —from swimming with the dolphins . . . 

 to snorkeling with the fish under the sea . . . 

I looked up Bible passages about the sea and came across God's warning to His people through the prophet Jeremiah. 

According to the Moody Bible Commentary, though Judah had eyes and ears, she did not see or comprehend the true character of God. Even the sea remains within its God-given boundary, yet the God's people refused to stay within God's covenant limits, and therefore, reaped the dire consequences of rebellion.

O, that God's people then and now would but fear the Lord! As you celebrate the 4th of July, beloved, pray fear of the Lord for the USA!
