God's Glory~By Kyle



BAM-RUMBLE-RUMBLE-BAM!!!  An unexpected thunder clap rumbled right above us. The windows shook, we all were startled, and our dog Ally crouched low her tail tucked under her. I love this kind of weather; the unexpected type, the ones that leave me awestruck. How awesome is a thunderstorm and the God who created them!

"At this also my heart trembles, and leaps from its place. Listen closely to the thunder of His voice, and the rumbling that goes out from His mouth. Under the whole heaven He lets it loose, and His lightning to the ends of the earth. After it, a voice roars; He thunders with His majestic voice, And He does not restrain the lightnings when His voice is heard. God thunders with His voice wondrously, doing great things which we cannot comprehend. For to the snow He says, 'Fall on the earth,' and to the downpour and the rain, 'Be strong.'

Job 37:1-6

And to think that a human, one of the one-hundredth-zillionth blobs of puniness to ever walk the earth, would dare to raise their fist in the face of our magnificent God is stunningly sad. How awful to see people declare to their doom, "there is no God", or how sad to think that some look at God's glory in nature and mutter, "that is there all by chance". How empty a life that must be.

But what is just as amazing is that our God, the God who formed the heavens and all it contains, would care for and love us little blobs; that He wants to use us in His plan for the world. That is a great mystery that I for one will never understand. It is our job my brothers and sisters to give God all the glory, and what a fulfilling life it is.

P.S. Did any of you fellow Washingtonians also have thunder at their place? According to the weather radar there was several heavy storms which had the potential to become thunderstorms around the area.
