1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge. Psalm 19:1-2
I have seen some beautiful skies this week, and I have also seen some threatening looking skies with our weather patterns. Not only did God create the world we live in, but He created and controls the skies as well. Thinking about this aspect of creation can put your life into a little more perspective. The beauty that we see in His creation is the beauty that He sees in us. We have to remember that His creation includes us, and if He wants to show off His creation, He will take time to do it with us as He does with the skies. While he loves His creation, I think at times He reminds us of His power through His creation. The thunder and lightning that is heard and seen with these storms is a reminder of that very power. I heard about a man that passed away after being struck by lightning when he was playing golf in the midst of an arriving storm recently. We cannot be sure why this man was taken from this world, and I am not sure God was directly pursuing Him, but God's power is evident. We need to remember to listen for God and His knowledge that He will reveal through many avenues. His knowledge that is provided is only meant to help guide us back to Him. Each day I give thanks for His beauty and most days it is about the sky He has painted for my drive to work. We all need to remember to thank God for His creation and creating us in His image. Do not fear the storm, but let our God guide us through them.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
