Michelle and I, several years ago on our 15th anniversary, were staying at a friend’s condo in Maui. The price was right and the location was amazing. We were so close to the water!

Too close?

All night long I was awakened by the crashing waves. I actually love the ocean and the sound of those waves, but this was almost a little much. (No, I’m not complaining about staying so close to the water in Maui. ha)

Whether staying in a condo or sitting on a beach, the constant pounding and crashing of those waves is actually making a statement! Check this out:

“Let the sea and its fish give a round of applause, with everything living on earth joining in. Let ocean breakers call out, “Encore!” and mountains harmonize the finale—” (Psalm 98:7-8 MSG)

So whether you’re in the mountains listening to the wind do its thing as it rushes through the trees or you’re sitting with your toes in the sand feeling the impact of each wave…remember who they’re celebrating.
