Why Believe in God?
Reason #40
God protects the earth from the seas.
Do you not fear Me? says the Lord.
Will you not tremble at My presence.
Who have placed the sand as the bound of the sea.
By a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass beyond it?
And though its waves toss to and fro,
Yet they cannot prevail;
Though they roar, yet they cannot pass over it.
- Jeremiah 18:22 (NKJV)
Look at a topographical map of the world and notice the coastlines of the continents. You can travel out a few miles and then you encounter a drop off into the depths of sea. It looks as though the oceans have been gouged out of the earth and sandy seashores laid to protect us from the ferocious nature of the seas. Imagine a world where you lived in day to day fear of waves driving over the land into your home. According to scripture we do not need to fear inundation by the oceans. And history has borne this out.
