Job 37:5, 6

God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding. He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’ ~ Job 37:5, 6


Today, where I live, there is no threat of thunder, rain, or snow. In fact, for a November day, the temperature is about to rise to 21 celcius, which is phenomenal. This is highly unusual where I live! Whether it is raining, or snowing, or the sun is bright and high in the sky, the earth proclaims the mightiness of God. God created this earth, the seasons, the atmosphere; and He created you and me. What marvels we see in ourselves and around us! We cannot understand or comprehend all that lays out of reach of mankind. As a species, we are learning more and more scientifically, that is true. Still, we have questions that cannot be answered, still there are many aspects of life we cannot understand. We all thought by this time we would be free of the pandemic, but still we struggle on to find the vaccine, and still the virus alters itself into other forms. Our scientists are learning more and more about this covid-19, but they do not know all. I am not saying God put this virus on the earth, we understand it came through animal life into our food chain. I do believe God allowed it, but for what purpose you may ask? Look at our world, how far we have turned away from Him. Especially where I live in North America – we are the past missionaries needing missionaries. We are stoic, and “multi-spiritual”, which says spirit is in me; it is me. We have neglected to give glory to the God and Father of Jesus Christ, and we have rejected His salvation. God will show His strength in the small and weak so that our proud spirits would be broken and finally acknowledge Him. If we do not repent, He has a more terrible rain to send, overflowing, and under His control, which will declare His power.

Proverbs 18:2

Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in sharing their own opinions ~ Proverbs 18:2 If we are going to understand something, we must fully digest it so that when we speak, we speak with wisdom. When we have only half truths in our mind, our words become empty and senseless. We then puff out air rather than understanding when we speak. A wise person will want to improve their mind through learning in various ways from the world around them. A person who delights in spiritual understanding will find peace and enjoyment in reading the Word of God on a daily basis, and in participating with God’s people in a learning and praising environment – the church! We come together in corporate worship with the understanding that not one of us knows all things, but we bend our mind and heart to learn what God has to show and say to us. A foolish person makes a show of what they “know” to please their friends or to save face in front of them. More often a wise person will hold t

Romans 8:26

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans ~ Romans 8:26 Many days, many times, I have the words for prayer. It comes forth and flows fairly naturally as I converse with my Lord God. I hope in the God I worship to hear me, and to receive my words, as I pray in the name of Jesus and believe in Him, my intercessor. He is my Living Saviour, my High Priest, standing at the right hand of God the Father. But there are times when my pain has been so deep that my words will not come. There are times when my agony is so piercing that what words I may speak would not be enough. And so, in my deep, black moments, I come before my God and let my darkest emotions erupt in sounds that only He can understand. The Holy Spirit within me cries out in my stead, and He becomes my second intercessor. It is not that He is not there with me in all my prayers, but there are times wh

Isaiah 43:19

Image
Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert ~ Isaiah 43:19 When we meet a challenge, we are often found discouraged, lost, even hopeless. Nothing is working, everything seems to be against us. We do not know how to move forward, so we remain curled up in a ball. Then, a glimmer of light shines through! Hope is regained and movement is stirred within. Don’t we become excited when we begin to feel it? God moves like that. We cannot see our way around it, but He can and does. And He makes a way for us out of the calamity of our fears. It is the feeling of springtime after a long winter, or the smell of fresh cut grass. Life stirs within and we move and we see what God saw all the time – the answer to our dilemma. Our desert place becomes an oasis, and we can do what we are called to do. Something totally unexpected happens, something unheard of, but it begins in our life, and we feel the
