Thunder, Wind and Lightning

Psalm 77:18

Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind, your lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.

I LOVE following the weather forecasts, the storms that are brewing, and the winds that are stirring.  It’s fascinating to me.

I’m guessing maybe this writer did, too. 

Have you ever just sat and listened to a storm outside your window? Or have you observed the lightning as it darts across the sky at night, lighting up the darkness?

I’ve never experienced an earthquake, but I can imagine it’s frightening and amazing all at the same time.

All of those weather-related experiences are cool to observe and hear, as long as we’re safe and protected from the damage that can come from a storm.

God’s power is manifest throughout the earth, even in the winds and the rain and the storms.  And in the thunder!

Next time, you hear the roll of thunder in the distance, sit still and listen.

The next verse after the above one says this:

Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen.

Are you at the foot of a huge sea you cannot cross, with enemies pursuing you from behind? 

Look and listen for the whirlwind of his power, and then see if he doesn’t part the waters to make a path for you to run, unharmed, and only pursued by his loving hand.
