Sand on a Beach

 

Life can sometimes swirl around us at an unbelievable rate. We watch standards we once took for granted disappear before our very eyes. How did we get here? Did we set our focus on unmovable truths, or did our dreams get washed away … like the sand on a beach?

Sand … a wonderful thing

Scripture often references sand. Sometimes to show our folly.

Whoever hears these words of Mine and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.The rain came down. The water came up. The wind blew and hit the house. The house fell and broke apart.”
Matthew 7:26-27

But it’s also used to show the vast unmeasurable love God has for us. See how God uses a word picture to show Abram (Abraham) the depth of his love and devotion.

“I will certainly bless you. I will multiply your descendants beyond number, like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore … ”
Genesis 22:17

Your Challenge

Do we see sand as vast and unmeasurable … or as shifty and unstable? Learning this may involve taking a long look into the mirror at who we are  … and ask ourselves some hard questions.

But by asking ourselves hard questions … even if that leads us to how we see sand … may give a clear direction when seeking peace.
