Whales are big.


Over breakfast this morning, I finished Job. I love where God, after hearing these guys all go on about Job, righteousness, sin, and the like shows up and throws down. He calls to mind Leviathian...who can hook his jaw and subdue him, who can reel him in. The imagery is stunning. I went into our whale watching tour this morning thinking about this.


And I saw this...and he was the baby. Mama was close by, and she was crazy, crazy big. Whales are enormous. God made those.
Unreal.
The thing I came away with was that God will do what He wants. He will make things like whales that make a 40 foot iron ship look small. He will control the weather, call the lightning forth, hold back the rain or let it loose whenever He chooses. He will also choose to extend grace to me whether I deserve it or not.
Even more unreal.
