Jesus opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. — Luke 24:45 ICB Some scientists say we know more about the surface of Mars than about the bottom of the oceans. But the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration—NOAA for short—is working to change that. In 2009, NOAA launched the Okeanos Explorer ship to map and explore the ocean floor. A remote-control vehicle named Deep Discoverer dives down to 19,000 feet underwater. (That's over 31/2 miles down!) Along the way, it takes pictures, collects samples, and discovers creatures like the Duobrachium sparksae (a new species of comb jelly) and a "ghost-like"octopod no one has ever seen before! |

Each year, Okeanos maps between 23,000 and 38,000 square miles. But since the ocean is over 139,000,000 square miles, they've still got a lot of ground…I mean…water to cover. Space satellites can give us a rough outline of what's down there. But to fill in the details, explorers need to dive in and get a little closer. That's true about God too. If we just "look" at Him during church once a week, we can learn some things about who He is. And that's great! But to fill in the details, we to need to dive into His Word and get a little closer. That means looking up words we don't know, asking for help with verses we don't understand, and talking to God about what it all means. When you set out to discover more about God, you'll meet the One who's more amazing than anything you could discover here on Earth—even at the bottom of the ocean. Prayer for Today: God, I want to deeply know You. Help me fill in the details and understand what I read in Your Word. Amen. |

The Bible speaks of God loving and planning before the earth was created. Have you ever thought of God as the Master Cartographer, mapping out every inch of the land and ocean for his Ultimate Design? It's amazing to think about, isn't it! | |
