Though they roar, they cannot pass over it

The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts.”

Psalms 114:7  Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, who turns the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of water.

Psalms 77:18    The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind; your lightnings lighted up the world; the earth trembled and shook.

Psalms 97:4-5    His lightnings light up the world; the earth sees and trembles.  The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.

Psalms 104:32    who looks on the earth and it trembles, who touches the mountains and they smoke!

Job 9:6     who shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble;

Isaiah 64:1-3     Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence—   as when fire kindles brushwood and the fire causes water to boil— to make your name known to your adversaries, and that the nations might tremble at your presence!  When you did awesome things that we did not look for, you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.

Jeremiah 5:22     Do you not fear me? declares the LORD. Do you not tremble before me? I placed the sand as the boundary for the sea, a perpetual barrier that it cannot pass; though the waves toss, they cannot prevail; though they roar, they cannot pass over it.

God has authority over all of His creation.  All creation has been given boundaries they can not pass.  We often say given enough time, money, and resources anything can be accomplished.  We look at history and what mankind has been able to accomplish to add some measure of truth to this statement.  Yet nothing man has done can be claimed apart from God.  We work within His creation and according to His boundaries.  There is one boundary that requires mankind give special attention too.  The boundaries between eternal life and eternal torment .  Mankind has those who will not acknowledge God exists.  They cry out with worldly wisdom about the simple mind that would believe in a Creator.  They defend this with all kinds of science talk.  No matter their thoughts and beliefs, there still is a boundary between eternal life and mankind.  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.  This boundary has been given one doorway, Jesus Christ.
