Job 35-37
I am often fascinated by the sound of storms. What I don’t always think about, though, is the power of God evident in those storms.
To be honest, I doubt the heart of Job’s friend Elihu was entirely right when he, too, spoke to Job about God’s power evident in storms, but he did verbalize words that have made me remember storms today:
Listen! Listen to the roar of his voice, to the rumbling that comes from his mouth.
He unleashes his lightning beneath the whole heaven and sends it to the ends of the earth.
After that comes the sound of his roar; he thunders with his majestic voice.
When his voice resounds, he holds nothing back.
God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding.
He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’ (Job 37:2-6)
Perhaps I need to slow down enough during the next storm to hear God’s voice in the thunder and see His power in the lightning. I need to remember that the rain and the snow move at His command. His majesty is so great that all I should do is worship.
RESPONSE: Worship God during the next storm you experience.
