God’s Voice Thunders
In Wonderful Ways
When I hear the thunder, my heart
pounds. It beats
faster inside me. Listen! Listen to the roar of his voice! Listen to the
thunder that comes from him! He sends his lightning across the sky. It reaches
from one end of the earth to the other. Next comes the
sound of his roaring thunder. He thunders with his majestic voice. When his
voice fills the air, he doesn't hold anything back. God's voice thunders in
wonderful ways. We'll never understand the great things he does. He says to the
snow, 'Fall on the earth.' He tells the rain, 'Pour
down your mighty waters.' He stops everyone from working. He wants them to see
his work. The animals go inside. They remain in their dens. The storm comes out
of its storeroom in the heavens. The cold comes from the driving winds. The
breath of God produces ice. The shallow water freezes over. He loads the clouds
with moisture. He scatters his lightning through them. He directs the clouds to
circle above the surface of the whole earth. They do everything he commands
them to do. He tells the clouds to punish people. Or he brings them to water
his earth and show his love. "Job, listen to me. Stop and think about the
wonderful things God does. Do you know how he controls the clouds? Do you understand
how he makes his lightning flash? Do you know how the clouds stay up in the
sky? Do you understand the wonders of the One who has perfect knowledge? Even
your clothes are too hot for you when the land lies quiet under the south wind.
Can you help God spread out the skies? They are as hard as a mirror that's made
out of bronze.
Job 37:1-18
The wonder of God’s creation leaves us speechless, and this is
just a small part of the total mystery package of God’s awesome handiwork.
When we observe God’s amazing creation, our only response can be
that some things are just too wonderful to put words to.
When we cease to wonder, we cease to
worship
