Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. The Word of God has a sort of omnipotent power in it.

That Word can do anything that God purposes. “Where the word of a king is, there is power;” but where the Word of God...

They reel to and fro, and...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters ; these see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. The Jews were never given to navigation.
