Key Verse: Verse Job 26:10 – “He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.”
Key Words: He hath compassed the waters with bounds
For years man has doubted the works of Moses and Job in regard to boundaries of the seas.
A thousand years ago King Canute ruled England, Denmark and Norway. He was so wise and able a king that his subjects wished to worship him. Canute refused the adoration of his subjects. To teach them the lesson of his own mortality he had them carry his throne to the seashore and place it below the level of the high tide mark. There he sat enthroned, watching the incoming waves. Presently they began to swirl about his feet and lap his throne. The king arose, waved his scepter over the sea and cried, "Stand back, stand back, ye ocean tides." But the proud waves rolled on. "We know you not, O little man," they seemed to say. "Our limits are decreed by a greater King than thou."
Twice every day, since the dawn of creation's third day, the tides of the earth have owned the sovereignty of God. In the deathless words of Sir Robert Grants:
The earth with its shore of wonders untold,
Almighty! Thy power hath founded of old
Hath 'stablished it fast by a changeless decree
And round it hath cast like a mantle, the sea.
What to do:
✞ Believe God’s Word; it has never been wrong.
