The Mighty Waters

While in Hawaii', I went to see the mighty waterfalls of the Waipi'o Valley,they are some of the most breathtaking on the Big Island. But what impressed me most in the valley,was not the sight of the falls or the spray of the water. It was the sound of them. It was an overwhelming experience that reminded me how small I am by comparison. Later with this scene in mind,I couldn't help but think about John in Revelation 1:15. While on the island of Patmos,he saw a vision of the risen Christ.The apostle described Jesus in the glory of His resurrection, noting both His clothing and His physical qualities. Then John described Christ's voice "as the sound of many waters" (v.15). I'm not sure I fully appreciated what that meant until I visited Waipi'o Valley,and was overwhelmed by the thundering sound of the falls. As those mighty waters reminded me of my own smallness, I better understood why John fell at the feet of Christ as if dead (v.17 ). Perhaps that description will help you grasp the awesomeness of Jesus' presence and prompt you to follow John's example of worshiping the Savior. Read: Revelation C-1:v9 thu 17.
