Shark at Sunset by Reva Lachica Moore

“Yay, we’re going to the beach!” Lucas, 11, shouted in excitement. Each year the whole family spend their vacation on a beach in Florida. Prayers go up to heaven days even weeks before the trip. Each time I hear that they are going, I make a prayer picture and put pictures of the traveling family under Jesus, the holy angels and the Holy Spirit. I type my prayer in detail and beg Jesus for 100% safety, protection and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. I remember during their first trip some years back, a wallet got lost and so praying for the trip became a priority. After making a prayer picture, I have peace, for I know Jesus is in total charge of everyone and everything. I’d feel relief once I’d hear that they are back home.
At the beach the following morning, many people were already out before sunrise. Some were walking, picking up sea shells or wading in ankle-deep water.  Soon, beach umbrellas and lounge chairs dotted the sand.  Many families do look forward to their vacations. When the sun gets unbearably hot, they’d go back to the hotel and relax at the hotel’s pool.

This part of the story below is written by my son Adam:

“One evening, the beach had a large number of people still out. The sunset was “out of this world” gorgeous. Still had people staying in the water ‘til the sun went fully down. Suddenly, I saw something in the water! The shark would have been easily spotted had it been daylight still. The shark made its way all the way into the shallow waters unseen. I simply saw its giant fin come out the water and my heart stopped. I immediately knew it was a shark. There was only one shark. I pointed it to the woman standing close by. “Shark!” She started screaming. “Shark! Shark!” And thankfully the people started to yell to tell people to get away from the left and to the right. The screaming worked because the shark did go left, and then right towards the people. The fear in people’s faces was indescribable as they scampered to safety. I’ve only heard about shark attacks on TV and we were so close to one.” ~ Adam

I heard about this shark encounter only the other day when Adam called. My prayers of thanks went up to heaven, for that was a dreadful close call. I also thank God for creating the shark with a fin that sticks out of the water and can be seen to warn people when it comes close. (Picture of shark taken from the internet).

1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion (in this case – a silent shark), seeking someone to devour.” NIV
