Out of the Storm

I have to admit that about two days ago I was pretty tired of Job's situation. I don't know about you but I was so challenged by Job's attitude and as I reflected on my own attitude from day to day, there is only so much personal conviction I can take! He questioned God, he challenged God, and things just kept getting worst for the poor guy!

Today we have finally reached the finish line and suddenly God speaks to Job "out of the storm". As I write there's a storm brewing outside. I can see the lightning flashing across the dark sky and the thunder rumbling. It's pretty incredible to watch, but can you imagine hearing God speak in the midst of a storm?!

Sometimes the storm of life is just like the one I'm watching outside. It rumbles and intimidates, and it make you want to hide inside. However, like Job, I would like to be close enough to God that I can hear His voice and see His power in my life, "My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you (Job 42:6)."

  1. Wow! That was a beautiful way to illustrate it. I agree that if it takes a storm in my life to get to see God, then it is worth it. I feel like there is just so much more to see and know about our God, and I want all He will give me. I guess He knows we can only handle so much knowledge of Him at a time. :) Our God is awesome and powerful, yet good and kind. I'm so glad to be His!
