Waves of the Sea

Welcome to Devotions by the Sea, our brand-new devotional series where we take everyday elements of God’s creation and discover His truth in them. In this episode, Waves of the Sea, we dive into James 1:5-6, where Scripture reminds us that if we lack wisdom, we can ask God, who gives generously to all.

Just like waves are not random splashes, but powerful forces of energy moving through the water—caused by wind, tides, and even storms—our faith is shaped by what moves us. God uses the imagery of waves to describe how people respond to faith: sometimes steady, sometimes tossed about.

But wisdom is more than head knowledge. It’s not just facts—it’s God’s truth guiding our steps. He has a plan and purpose for each of us, and He longs for us to discover it. The question is: How do we find out what that plan is?
