Struck by Lightning!

Do you know how God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash?
Do you know how the clouds hang poised, those wonders of him who is perfect in knowledge?
Job 37: 15-16

I am "struck" by this scripture passage above! Oh how God is so powerful, so amazing. He is truly in charge, I am not one who can question His power and authority, I simply need to know that He is the one in control of all things. There are things in this world that none of us can completely fathom. His wonders that are always above us, physically, mentally, spiritually, directionally.

The last several weeks have been a bit crazy for me. My computer got struck by lightning! Therefore, as you can see I have not written any posts. I have had to purchase a new computer, try to gather all of my previous items needed to function. This has been a very frustrating time for me. The new computer I have is a "Vista" and I hear mixed thoughts from people about Vista. Some really love it others really hate it. I am learning to adjust to it, and still have much to learn.

I am just now moving beyond the frustration of it all, and am now finally to a point where I am able to stand in awe of His abilities. Our God is always able to get our attention, one way or another. I believe that He was trying to get my attention. It was as if He was asking me the very questions in this Scripture. Posing it to me saying "Kathryn, Do you know how I, your God, control the clouds and make My lightning flash?" Pulling me in, asking me to recognize His amazing power, His creation. Causing me to have to break the routine of my days.

My husband Bruce and I have been watching the sky more lately. This summer we have had an unusual amount of rain and the sunsets have been grande! We have a wonderful bench on our front porch, and we sit out there in the mornings and evenings enjoying the peace. We have several dove families living all around us and enjoy another part of God's creation in listening to them every day, through out the day. Check out this link to hear the sound of the "Mourning Dove" http://www.learnbirdsongs.com/birdsong.php?id=7 . Many days they stand on the top of our chimney, and pipe their music into my house! Their beautiful sound will literally fill my home with their song!

We also have seen lots of wonderful "Lightning shows" in the night sky as we have sat out on our wonderful bench. His creation is so vast! His wonders, His creative intelligence, and knowledge put me in my respective place. I am so awed by His gloriousness. Oh my Lord, I am taken aback at how the clouds hang in the sky! How You pour out Your rain, cleansing us, cleansing the earth, providing us and Your earth with Your living water!

Yes, You are full of majestic wonders, and perfect in knowledge! Thank you for constantly revealing Yourself to me in the clouds, the lightning strikes, the thunder!

Let me always experience Your creative splendor even in the midst of my frustration.
