Sea

There are five prominent encounters with water in scripture.

 

The Red Sea and the waters of challenge

The Rivers of Babylon and the waters of tragedy and suffering

The Negev and the waters of rejuvenation

The Jordan River and the waters of new beginnings

The Sea of Galilee and the waters of Immanuel, God With Us

 

All of these are waters God gives us. They are waters we walk through, and walk by, and waters whose shores and banks we stand on. They are waters that cover us. They are waters we drink from and which keep us alive.

 

We can go to these waters and learn from them.
