Then said they to him, "What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?" For the sea grew more and more tempestuous.
David the psalmist said, "If I ascend into heaven thou art there: if I descend into hell thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and flee to the uttermost parts of the sea, even there You lead me" ( Psalms 139:8-10 ). I can't get away from God. I'm surrounded by God, and thus, it is wrong for you to think of God in a local situation.
