The sea is a place of mystery, beauty, madness and tragedy. It represents freedom and liberation as well as confinement and imprisonment. The sea is often represented by a shell, an image that speaks to the calmness of unbroken waters or the tumult of storm-tossed oceans. Seashells always appear in pairs, suggesting both birth and death at sea. In the Bible, seashells are mentioned hundreds of times (likewise, ships are referred to countless times). Some references describe how God has made his creatures beautiful for His people’s pleasure and for their use for worshiping Him.

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks. By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. …

As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. …
