 | "Let us not here understand mountains as of earth; nor plains, as of earth:
but waves so great that they may be compared to mountains. The sea did sometime toss, and
its waves were as mountains, which could cover those mountains the
Apostles." |

Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).

in preservation is of His rich goodness and mercy, so that we may well spend our lives in
grateful praise, honoring to Him, and delightful to pious hearts." |

Desert Scribblings, Psalm 104:24-35, Geoff McElroy, 2008.
| "...the issue isn’t really about
whether God is a great lever-puller that causes the sun to rise and set
or for rain to fall or not. Instead, the very existence of creation
hinges upon God." |
