rain has been falling here in south texas. what a blessing. last night there was a storm. south texas has thunderstorms. i thought that i knew what a thunderstorm was, but as they say, everything is bigger here in texas.
i woke to many waters and thunderous rolls that seemingly had no end. one and then another and another. i love them. it is in the midst of this, that i feel the nearness, the power and the presence of Almighty God.
"And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder." Revelation 14:2
when my daughter's sweet hands wrapped around me in gripped fear, and her face was pressed close. i whispered to her . . . this is how the Bible describes the very voice of God. listen child, listen to His power, listen to His strength. indeed, there is none like Him! she watches me in the light of the sky and i can see her wonder. i can see the questions that she does not ask as she studies my adoration of the King and revel in His glorious revelation of might!
. . . and so i prayed through my sleepless early morning, thanking the LORD for waking me to the sound of His blessings, the thoughts of Him, the peace He gives. . . and I held my child close, whispering my great love song to my Jesus. . . and when i woke later that morn, she was sleeping.
