When I drove to Ohio in May I was bucking a storm near Fort Wayne; lightening was flashing in a distance. It was 1145 pm and as I looked up at the sky I wondered if it was a storm. The moon was peeking over a thick bank of clouds. Then, within seconds, the moon almost disappeared into those clouds...almost like it was playing peak-a-boo!
All of a sudden it hit me! Have we ever been in a really severe storm of life that made it challenging to see God's presence, sometimes even getting sidetracked because of circumstances, emotions and details of what was happening...challenging to see that God is really there?
I was positive it was the moon and for people of faith we know God is really there, but sometimes we just have to sort things out to really see Him, to feel Him or to know that He's not far from us. Have you ever been through something huge in your life and was left with a sense of awe? I certainly have!!
So, the next time you see lightening up ahead, and you wonder if a storm is coming, perhaps those clouds will inspire you like they did me! It's amazing how nature can speak to us sometimes louder than words!
