For as the waters fill the sea, the earth will be filled with an awareness of the glory of the Lord. – Habakkuk 2:14 (NLT)
GOD’S GLORY FILLS THE EARTH
A poem and essay by ILMA
I watched the waves move back and forth
I heard its splashing sound that goes to and fro
I gazed at my feet buried in the sand
Water ran through my fingers as I touched it with my hands.
I was refreshed as the water kept flowing
Like the water, God keeps on reaching and touching
He fills whole earth with his magnificence
We can be the ripples that will spread his radiance.
I love the sea. It always rejuvenates me when I feel the sand in my feet as I walk through the beach. My grandfather was a fisherman and a farmer. My “lolo” as we dearly call our grandpa in the Filipino language is the light in my dark life as a child. He was the symbol of creativity, hope, peace and love in my early childhood life.
The bible tells us that the water fills the sea and the earth will be filled with an awareness of the glory of the Lord. He also said in his word that his glory and power will reach all the ends of the earth.
PRAYER
Lord, allow me to be the ripple for your glory.
