As
I looked at this beautiful sight, I immediately thought of how the
glory of God shines through the clouds.. And then, I thought how true
this was in life as well. Were it always sunny and easy and comfortable,
would we recognize God's hand? Would we hear His voice? Would we see
His grace?.....would we know how much we needed Him or how much He
wanted to be real in and through us, pouring out His power and love? I
think the answer is no, we wouldn't.
You see, it's the clouds. If they weren't there how would we ever be able to see the glory of the risen Savior? How would he do what only He can do, if it weren't for the backdrop of darkness for Him to shine through?.... that is what God does with clouds.. or obstacles or burdens or pain or hardships.
He makes them into a thing of beauty because His light and His truth penetrates the darkness. The darkest cloud only makes the light more glorious as it passes through. And it is then that all can see and know that the Lord God lives and is at work. And He is beautiful beyond description.
