As I sit here on my bed writing this post, my senses are going wild! I can hear pounding on the roof from the dime-sized hail hurling from the heavens along with the soft pattern of rain drops. The lightning flashes that split the sky and light up the dark earth for a moment are accompanied with ground-shaking thunder to add to the symphony. The dog is curled up on my legs, not sure of what’s going on. My family rushes to the windows to watch this spectacular picture of God’s absolute power and majesty unfold before their eyes.

Storms have always spoken to me. However, when I was young I used to be very scared of them, but now, they inspire me. Every time we get a thunderstorm I see it as God’s way of reassuring me that He is still in complete control of all things.

I am also caused to reflect on His majesty, mercy, and awesome power. Our God is truly amazing!

While I was watching the storm beginning to unleash this evening, a thought came to me: It is in the storms of our lives, in the darkest fiercest moments of blackness, we see, most clearly, the power of our Master, Savior, and Father displayed before us. Whether a spiritual or physical thunderstorm God’s power is enough to see you through. Rekindle your faith, refocus your eyes on Him, and calm your fears, for in the midst of the lightning and rain we can reach out to a God of strength and grace. He will take your hand, walk you through, and cause you to love and lean on Him all the more because of it. So, when your next thunderstorm comes will you hide in the curtains or see it as a chance to witness God’s awesome power in your life?

May God be glorified in my life and yours forevermore,

" Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth; sing praises to the Lord, to Him who rides upon the highest heavens, which are from ancient times; behold, He speaks forth with His voice, a mighty voice. Ascribe strength to God; His majesty over Israel, and His strength is in the skies. O God, Thou art awesome from Thy sanctuary. The God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to the people. Blessed be God!" Psalm 68:32-35

" For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods. Whatever the LORD pleases, He does, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all the deeps. He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; Who makes lightnings for the rain; Who brings forth the wind from His treasuries." Psalm 135:5-7

" I will extol Thee, my God, O King; and I will bless Thy name forever and ever. Every day I will bless Thee, and I will praise Thy name forever and ever. Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise Thy works to another, and shall declare Thy mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of Thy majesty, and on Thy wonderful works, I will meditate. And men shall speak of the power of Thine awesome acts; and I will tell of Thy greatness." Psalm 145:1-6
