The reference to God as the "Maker" aligns with <a href="/genesis/1.htm">Genesis 1:1</a>, where God is described as creating the heavens and the earth. This creation account establishes God's sovereignty and power over the universe. The inclusion of "the sea" highlights the ancient Near Eastern understanding of the sea as a symbol of chaos, which God has dominion over, as seen in <a href="/psalms/89-9.htm">Psalm 89:9</a>. The phrase "everything in them" underscores the comprehensive nature of God's creation, echoing <a href="/colossians/1-16.htm">Colossians 1:16</a>, which speaks of all things being created through and for Christ. This reflects the belief in God's ongoing involvement and sustenance of creation, as seen in <a href="/acts/17-24.htm">Acts 17:24-25</a>.<p><b>He remains faithful forever</b><br>This statement affirms God's eternal faithfulness, a key attribute of His character. The Hebrew word for "faithful" (אֱמוּנָה, emunah) conveys a sense of steadfastness and reliability. This is echoed in <a href="/lamentations/3-22.htm">Lamentations 3:22-23</a>, which speaks of God's mercies being new every morning and His great faithfulness. The concept of God's eternal faithfulness is also seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/7-9.htm">Deuteronomy 7:9</a>, where God is described as keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations. This assurance of God's unchanging nature provides comfort and hope, as seen in <a href="/hebrews/13-8.htm">Hebrews 13:8</a>, which declares Jesus Christ as the same yesterday, today, and forever.
