GOD IN THE STORM

READ:

He is excellent in power.
-Job 37:23

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Jeremiah 12-14
2 Timothy 1

Early one morning the wind began to blow and raindrops hit my house like small stones. I peered outside at the yellow gray sky and watched as trees thrashed in the wind. Veins of lightning lit the sky accompanied by bone-rattling thunder.The power blinked on and off, and I wondered how long the bad weather would continue.
After the storm passed I opened my Bible to begin my day with reading Scripture. I read a passage in Job that compared the Lord's power to the atmospheric muscle of a storm. Job's friend, Elihu said, "God thunders marvelously with his voice"(37:5). And, "He covers his hands with lighting, and commands it to strike"(36:32). Indeed God is "excellent in power"(37:23)
Compared to God, we humans are feeble. We're unable to help ourselves spiritually, heal our heart or fix the injustice we often endure. Fortunately, the God of the storm cares about weaklings like us; He "remembers that we are dust (Psalm 103:14). What's more, God "gives power to the weak and to those who have no might He increases strength"(Isaiah 40:29). Because God is strong, He can help us in our weakness. - Jennifer Benson Schuldt
I sing the mighty power of God
That made the mountains rise,
That spread the flowing seas abroad
And built the lofty skies - Watts

God is the source of our strength.

NO FOOD FOR THE LAZY MAN

Laziness is not a Christian virtue in any way. Our Lord Jesus Christ made this clear by His lifestyle of hard work while here on earth. A lifestyle of laziness is outrightly rejected in Scriptures typified by today's Bible reading. It is amazing that some people are still expecting God to rain manna on earth! It does...More
