23 No one can tell Him what to do, or say to Him,
‘You have done wrong.’ 24 Instead,
glorify His MIGHTY WORKS, singing songs of praise. 25 Everyone
has seen these things, though only from a distance. 26 “Look,
God is greater than we can understand.
His years cannot be counted.27 He
draws up the water vapor and then distills it into rain. 28 The
rain pours down from the clouds and everyone benefits. 29 Who
can understand the spreading of the clouds and the thunder that rolls forth
from heaven? 30 See how he spreads the
lightning around Him and how it lights up the depths of the sea. 31 By
these mighty acts he nourishes the people, giving them food in abundance. 32 He
fills His hands with lightning bolts and hurls each at its target. 33 The
thunder announces His presence; the storm announces His indignant anger.
37 “My heart pounds as I think of
this. It trembles within me. 2 Listen carefully
to the thunder of God’s voice as it rolls from His mouth. 3 It rolls across
the heavens,
and His lightning flashes in every direction. 4 Then comes the roaring of the thunder— the tremendous voice of His majesty. He does not restrain it when he speaks. 5 God’s voice is glorious in the thunder. We can’t even imagine the greatness of His power. 6 “He directs the snow to fall on the earth and tells the rain to pour down. 7 Then everyone stops working so they can watch His power. 8 The wild animals take cover and stay inside their dens. 9 The stormy wind comes from its chamber, and the driving winds bring the cold. 10 God’s breath sends the ice, freezing wide expanses of water. 11 He loads the clouds with moisture, and they flash with His lightning. 12 The clouds churn about at His direction. They do whatever he commands throughout the earth…. 14 “Pay attention to this, Job. Stop and consider the wonderful miracles of God! 15 Do you know how God controls the storm and causes the lightning to flash from His clouds? 16 Do you understand how He moves the clouds with wonderful perfection and skill? 17 When you are sweltering in your clothes and the south wind dies down and everything is still, 18 He makes the skies reflect the heat like a bronze mirror. Can you do that?”

The routine in our lives pushes us to go by life sometime not
realizing the GREATNESS of the God and Creator of this universe that we lived
in taking it and taking HIM for granted.
But even if you have not had a time to reflex on some of these things, take
this moment to ponder, and praise HIM for HIS power. Things like the vapor and the rain, and how
the clouds and thunder rolls forth from heaven and how thru that process the
lands brings forth crops for us to enjoy, it’s simply fascinating!
And how about the thunder and lightning bolts in the storms?
Elihu who is the one speaking here refers to it as God’s voice, that’s just
powerful! It really speaks about God’s majesty. And what about the snow storms,
we just had one last week here, is like a majestic painting; when God opens the
windows of heaven and let it come down, like powder sugar over a baked pastry,
just beautiful! If it comes in great amounts, people tend to stay indoors,
plans change out of the sudden just because, God had spoken!
Have you realized that if there’s any one who we need
to bow to it ought to be HIM!? For HE is
the God who gave us a chance to exist, it was HIM who chose for us to be
humans, not plants, not animals, not rocks, or any other thing. We were created by HIM and to HIS image, So
God created human beings in HIS OWN
IMAGE; “In the image of God He created them; male and female He created
them.”[1]
And what comes after that verse is even more exciting for is REALLY a blessing,
the exciting news that we’ve been call to not only fill the earth but to govern
it, AND to reign over the fish, birds, and animals!!!.[2] I’m sure to some these sounds like music to
the ears! This has been indeed the plan God traced for us since the very
beginnings of times! That’s love to
me! As parents we want to give our
children the best, though sometimes due to a multitude of things the best could
be limited, but our Father’s nature is LIMITLESS and HIS plans for us are
awesome!!! “And because we are his
children, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, prompting us to
call out, “Abba, Father.”[3]
I pray today your heart gets to rejoice as you ponder on all
the things our GOOD GOOD Father had given us. Have a great day worshiping our
Creator!
