Jeremiah 5:22 “‘Do you not fear Me?’ declares the Lord. ‘Do you not tremble in My presence? For I have placed the sand as a boundary for the sea, an eternal decree, so it cannot cross over it. Though the waves toss, yet they cannot prevail; though they roar, yet they cannot cross over it.’”
SAND FENCE
The first thing that hit me when I read this verse is all the talk about rising sea levels. We may disagree about global warming. I am certainly not going to argue about it. I just believe EVERY word of God is true and infallible. And here in Jeremiah, the Lord says the sea “cannot cross over it” – it being the sand.
I guess I am just simple minded (not comments from the peanut gallery please, lol). If I believe all the other scriptures, I have to believe this one. God has established boundaries and order to the universe. That applies to the very waves of the oceans. That is just mind boggling to me.
TEACHING MOMENT
“Okay Carl, what is the point?” you ask. That’s fair. The point is this. Teach your children that God is in control. Nothing surprises Him. He knows exactly where each wave will break on the beach. If that’s not detailed, I don’t know what it. And if God cares about how far the waves break on the beach, He certainly cares about the details of our lives.
His children are important to Him. There is not a detail of your kids’ lives that He is not concerned about. The next time you go to the beach or see a beach scene, read this verse to them. Remind your children that God is watching and can work in their lives, even as He controls the waters of the world.
A Moment In Time 
So very good Carl! Loved it. One other reminder of His sovereignty is when Jesus told the waves that were slapping the disciple’s boat, “Peace, be still” and the waves obeyed. Oh yes Our God is AWESOME!!! Thanks for the reminder! Lill Coker
