Seal Bay, Vancouver Island, British Columbia
Sea stars don't have a brain. There are five, ten, twenty and even forty armed sea stars and none of them have brains yet they are very much alive.
I've done some pretty brainless things in my life; sliding down an ice field, ridding in a speeding car and standing too close to the breaking waves of the Pacific Ocean crashing on rocks.
I don't think I'm alone.
I'm not advocating doing brainless stuff, but the reality of God's protection when we act like we haven't got a brain.
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. Psalm 91:11 English Standard Version
Does this psalm mean we'll always be spared from our brainless activity? No. The miracle of God's love is that we don't suffer more.
Sea stars regenerate new body parts when tragedy occurs. Because God willfully sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to the cross, he is at work regenerating us even when disaster strikes as a result of our brainless actions.
