you broke the heads of the monster in the waters.
It was you who crushed the heads of Leviathan
and gave it as food to the creatures of the desert.
These are verses on my list to ask God about in heaven. Sea monsters, really? Maybe, maybe not Psalm 74 is primarily about Israel feeling rejected by God, but then they remember how God saved them by rescuing them from the Egyptians. How he opened the Red Sea so they could go across, then destroyed the Egyptian army by allowing the water to close back in and drown them. The Egyptians are the monster, the leviathan in figurative language. And perhaps the dead bodies of the Egyptians washed up on the shore (Exodus 14:30) where they were eaten by animals...not sure about that one.
Lord, thank you for the mysteries of your word. Please keep us always seeking after you. Amen.
