Job 40:9
Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
The bible tells us in the book of Job that Gods voice can sound like thunder! How awesome is that! Whenever there is a thunder storm I am quickly reminded of that verse and comforted in it's meaning. God is not destructive with His power, He is AWESOME and CREATIVE! We oftentimes stereo-type things by hear say or ignorance. I don't believe God created thunder and lightening to be destructive. God is a good God. God is Love! He is a protector not a violator. Everything God made in the Genesis account was said of God to be good. There is a Heavenlyy beauty in seeing lightening and hearing thunder. It is not a frightening sound but rather a sound of dominion. When the bible describes Gods voice sounding like thunder, to me it denotes ruler ship and authority over all. I think the sound of thunder is majestic and glorious. As a matter of fact I enjoy watch thunder storms from a nice big picture window.............it is so cool. When I was a little girl I use to lay out on the front porch with my eyes facing the sky and daydream and imagine the clouds to be different animal. This was a very peaceful pass time for me, I truly enjoyed it.
So the next time you hear the thunder roar, stop and reflect on its sound and Praise God for His wondrous works among the children of men!
Amen*
