Mighty Ocean Waves

Towering ocean waves rise and break across a restless sea, their crests thrown into spray as sunlight catches the moving water. The view is entirely focused on the power of the surf, with no shoreline or figures to distract from the force and rhythm of creation. In Christian visual use, the sea often speaks of human frailty before the majesty of God, and of the Lord’s authority over waters that no person can command. The subject naturally supports teaching on divine sovereignty, creation, trust in storms, and worship drawn from the Psalms, where the roaring seas are placed beneath the rule of the Almighty. by John Baker
