Romans says, "For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities, his eternal power and divine nature." (1:20)
When I read scripture I get a sense of who God is. When I encounter someone's love or kindness, I get a sense of who God is. And almost always when I am out in creation, I get a sense of who God is.
The whale is such a sublime creature. It's size alone feels divine. It reminds me of the bigness of God that sometimes I can minimize. Especially when my fears or circumstances feel bigger. The whale represents to me the incomprehensible qualities of God and His divinity.
Psalm 95 says, "In His hand are the deep places of the earth...the sea is His, for He made it."
In His hand. Is there anything too big for Him? I find that to be such a comfort and reminder of who He is.
In His hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind. (Job 12:10) Is there anything in your life that feels too big? Maybe today, you can hand it over and remember that He is already carrying you in His hand.
