Today I could see a still vast ocean with the straight line of the horizon in the background. Consider that even if we can't see the horizon, it remains in existence. Also, as we are fully aware, the ocean is not always calm and is certainly never so in its entirety. This is a good analogy - with the horizon representing God's promises, His Word, which He never retracts. In the context of the whole ocean it is always there in its vastness, as with our lives, but it is not always calm. God wants us to trust that He will keep all His promises in the context of our whole life even He doesn't seem to be doing it in the way and in the timing we want or expect. So, confidently declare/pray His Word into our lives and into the lives of others. God spoke through the prophet Isaiah, "It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it". (Isaiah 55:11).
