Psalm 97:6 (nasb) --- The heavens declare His righteousness,And all the peoples have seen His glory.
Our family drove into our neighborhood last evening to discover that all the electricity was off. There were storms brewing in our area with the toughest of them being to our north several miles. So, we went to the local SONIC for some treats. It was a family moment you just have to take from time to time.
We arrived at the house. No lights. No TV. No clocks. It was quiet and peaceful, other than the frequent flashes of lightening from outside. Our kids didn't know what to think. There were questions of what we would do, despair on their faces and in their voices, if the clock was not on in the morning to wake us up or if the TV wouldn't work or if the phone wouldn't work. I went to the deck on the back of our house.
I leaned the chair back I was about to sit in thinking I would soak up some quiet thinking time. It was a blessing. I heard some bugs and the wind. I watched the lightening and some lightening bugs. For me, the heavens were shouting the awesome bigness and goodness of God.
Psalm 99:3 (nlt) --- Let them praise your great and awesome name.Your name is holy!
I am getting ready to preach a new series of messages at The Community Fellowship called "DNA - the makeup of Christianity", and what I hope to share with our precious folks is the coolness and biggness of God. My prayer is that we will pull some Psalms 46:10 time (be still and know He is good) to see and experience our God. My prayer is that we will fall in love with Him all over again.
Last night was that. While there were no lights and lots of chaos, God shows up. He speaks, and I listen.
We need that. So God, if we need more of the "night the lights went out", make it happen for us so we will enjoy you, hear you and love you more!
Ephesians 1:4 (nlt) --- Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.
1 John 5:21 (nlt) --- Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God's place in your hearts.
