Devotions by the Sea: Hermit Crabs
Even when a beach seems empty, life is everywhere. Hermit crabs quietly move along the sand, carrying only what they need and leaving behind what no longer serves them. Their simple way of living offers a reminder. It is easy to become consumed with temporary things and burdened by worries beyond control. But peace is found by releasing what weighs the heart down and focusing on what truly lasts.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4...

Devotions by the Sea: No-see-ums
In today’s Devotions by the Sea episode, “No-see-ums,” we reflect on how life often doesn’t go as planned. Even in beautiful places, small frustrations remind us that something in this world is broken. When God created Adam and Eve, creation was perfect—free from pain, disease, and suffering. But when sin entered, everything changed, and all creation began to feel its effects. As Romans 8:22 reminds us, creation still groans, pointing us to God’s promise to one day restore what was lost. The “no seeums” of life remind us that this world is not our final home....

Like many creatures in the ocean, our enemy survives by deception—lurking beneath the surface, disguising himself, and waiting to strike.

We have been given authority to overcome the serpent. Our response is clear and powerful: submit to God, resist the enemy, and draw near to Him.
