Can You Hear Me Now?

I love weather.  When I see gray clouds approach, I go outside to have a “look and see.”  So today, I sit outside on my deck aware of the change in the breeze, a signal that there may be a rain shower soon. As I speak with my Maker, I become aware of something else.  I live in town, not far from a highway….the sounds are annoying when I am trying to have “quiet time” with God. 

O Lord, it is so noisy, how will I ever hear you.  Right on cue God answers me with resounding thunder!

I smile.  You, O Lord, are louder than all the distracting sounds!  I look up thunder in my Bible.

Verses from Job 37 resonate with my spirit. 
“Listen! Listen to the roar of His voice…
He thunders with His majestic voice…
When His voice resounds He holds nothing back…
God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways…
He does great things beyond our understanding!”

You are amazing, Creator of the Universe!  May everyone take notice when you speak!!
