The Mysteries of Mermaids

           Most young ladies have a favorite Disney princess, and if you haven't figured it out yet ha-ha! Mine, is Ariel. The Little Mermaid. Now there are many reasons for this, but as I've grown older, there are more and more reasons that begin to surface.

         I have come to find that Christians, are much like Mermaids . . .

First because, well, we are different from the world. We are very different. We can't be explained and we are either questioned or amazed at by most who come in contact with us..  ( by the way, mermaids don't exist . I'm just using them as an illustration)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

        Mermaids, most of the time, remain hidden. Christians are similar to mermaids in this way because, we don't desire to throw our beliefs at the world and shove Jesus in the worlds face, but rather remain mysterious and let the world question who and what we are. As Christians, we are called to mind to our own work while loving people endlessly. We most definitely make Christ's existence known but we reveal him in a soft way rather than being aggressive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

       Through Christ, we are peaceful, yet powerful. Mermaids are peaceful, yet below the sea, help govern and rule kingdoms. They are princes and princesses who aren't afraid to be noticed.

       Mermaids are beautiful and they now it but they use it to draw people to them so that a person may learn more about the kingdom that the mermaid comes from. They use their appearance not to harm but to reflect what their kingdom looks like. Christians, in the same way, reflect Christ and Heaven in the way that the person lives their life.

     I would warn you not to harm a mermaid princess. If you do, her Father would question you , whoever you are. You better not upset the King. For though the mermaid is beautiful, she is protected and powerful against you because a mermaid knows who her Father is, and she wont let you forget it. Don't touch her without permission. The same is true for Christian girls or any of Gods children. We have a protector so don't come near us. If you do you will never forget our king.

     Mermaids are powerful and we aren't afraid to admit it. Christians will walk in the strength of God and will destroy darkness through their Fathers power. We stay well hidden but at the same time, completely out in the open. We are prepared to defend ourselves through our Fathers strength but we also will always have an answer for every question we are asked.

      There have always been people out to catch and destroy us mermaids, but they will not succeed. They don't succeed cause fishermen forget, that even if we get caught in a net, or tossed on board a boat, our Father owns the sea . . . so good luck getting back to shore with us.

    Even today, Christians are being persecuted, but we will be fine if Christ is living in us because we are strong, powerful and mighty! Full of mystery and peace, care and have the ability to attract people for good. To draw others closer to the Kingdom, Our Kingdom . . .underwater and in Heaven.

    We are all powerful through him who loves us! Go mermaids!

Love,

The Megalodon

As I have mentioned before, I love giant sea creatures! That includes sharks! There is a shark that is believed to have been real at one point in time but is believed to now, have gone extinct. I don't know if this shark was real or not but some people through out history, have said they have seen this huge shark. To give you an idea of the size of this giant creature, here are a few images that represent what people think it would of looked like and how large it was! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah it would have actually been as big as JAWS!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are all just ideas but if this shark was real at some point, that would be amazing!

 

 

 

Sharks are amazing creatures and can be scary but it is important to remember, that when we are afraid, God controls all things and is greater and more powerful than all things. just think, even this shark listens and bows before God almighty humbly!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Smile!

 

 

 

Oh and I hope you are having a HAPPY SUMMER!

The Master of the Leviathan

I have always loved giant, strange and amazing sea creatures! I find the great mysteries of the deep intriguing! Why? I love learning of the great monsters that are on this earth because it gives me a great prospective for how big God is and sea creatures are just awesome! God speaks of one of his great creations in the book of Job, a unique terror of the earth, that lurks in the ocean depts. His monstrous sea serpent, the Leviathan. The Leviathan is so great, yet it will bow before God and beg Him to spare his life. The following is from the book of Job chapter 41 and it is God speaking to Job and questioning him! If you don't know Jobs story, basically he was an extremely wealthy man and God allowed him to be tested by Satan and as Job is questioning why God is doing this, God responds by stating the following words along with many others! I highly recommend reading all of Job! Its great! So here you go! Job 41.(this is God speaking to Job)

 

 

First, here's what some artists envision this great beast as, just so you can get an idea!







 
 
 
 
 

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Now see what you think!



 

 “Can you pull in Leviathan with a fishhook
    or tie down its tongue with a rope?
² Can you put a cord through its nose
    or pierce its jaw with a hook?
³ Will it keep begging you for mercy?
    Will it speak to you with gentle words?
⁴ Will it make an agreement with you
    for you to take it as your slave for life?
⁵ Can you make a pet of it like a bird
    or put it on a leash for the young women in your house?
⁶ Will traders barter for it?
    Will they divide it up among the merchants?
⁷ Can you fill its hide with harpoons
    or its head with fishing spears?
⁸ If you lay a hand on it,
    you will remember the struggle and never do it again!
⁹ Any hope of subduing it is false;
    the mere sight of it is overpowering.
¹⁰ No one is fierce enough to rouse it.
    Who then is able to stand against me?
¹¹ Who has a claim against me that I must pay?
    Everything under heaven belongs to me.

 

“I will not fail to speak of Leviathan’s limbs,
    its strength and its graceful form.
¹³ Who can strip off its outer coat?
    Who can penetrate its double coat of armor^[b]?
¹⁴ Who dares open the doors of its mouth,
    ringed about with fearsome teeth?
¹⁵ Its back has^[c] rows of shields
    tightly sealed together;
¹⁶ each is so close to the next
    that no air can pass between.
¹⁷ They are joined fast to one another;
    they cling together and cannot be parted.
¹⁸ Its snorting throws out flashes of light;
    its eyes are like the rays of dawn.
¹⁹ Flames stream from its mouth;
    sparks of fire shoot out.
²⁰ Smoke pours from its nostrils
    as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.
²¹ Its breath sets coals ablaze,
    and flames dart from its mouth.
²² Strength resides in its neck;
    dismay goes before it.
²³ The folds of its flesh are tightly joined;
    they are firm and immovable.
²⁴ Its chest is hard as rock,
    hard as a lower millstone.
²⁵ When it rises up, the mighty are terrified;
    they retreat before its thrashing.
²⁶ The sword that reaches it has no effect,
    nor does the spear or the dart or the javelin.
²⁷ Iron it treats like straw
    and bronze like rotten wood.
²⁸ Arrows do not make it flee;
    slingstones are like chaff to it.
²⁹ A club seems to it but a piece of straw;
    it laughs at the rattling of the lance.
³⁰ Its undersides are jagged potsherds,
    leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge.
³¹ It makes the depths churn like a boiling caldron
    and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment.
³² It leaves a glistening wake behind it;
    one would think the deep had white hair.
³³ Nothing on earth is its equal—
    a creature without fear.
³⁴ It looks down on all that are haughty;
    it is king over all that are proud.”

I just think its amazing that God is so big that even a creature like this fears and bows before the Great Almighty! This thing is so ginormous! If the Leviathan is this great, then how much greater is his creator?
