The vastness and power of the ocean are often used in Scripture to illustrate God's majesty and creation. In Psalms, the psalmist declares that God has set a boundary for the seas, demonstrating His sovereign control over the natural world. The prophets Isaiah and Amos also reference the ocean, with Isaiah noting that God will be with His people even when they pass through the waters, and Amos highlighting God's power to form the sea. Meanwhile, Genesis describes the Spirit of God moving over the face of the waters at creation, and Micah looks forward to a time when God will cast all sins into the depths of the sea.
