Restraint Imposed Upon the Sea
Psalm 104:5-9
Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.…


The Baltic Sea, in our own time, inundated large tracts of land, and did great damage to the Flemish people and other neighbouring nations. By an instance of this kind we are warned what would be the consequences were the restraint imposed upon the sea by the hand of God removed. Although the natural tendency of the waters is to cover the earth, yet this will not happen, because God has established, by His Word, a counteracting law, and as His truth is eternal, this law must remain steadfast.

( J. Calvin.)
