The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
-Psalm 19:1

Do you know that God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash?
-Job 37:15

He speaks to me through the sky

SKY WATCH FRIDAY time! Welcome all sky fans!!! I might not have time to respond to you, but I will try my best to visit!!!

Our hosts: Klaus Sandy Sylvia Wren Louise Fishing Guy

Thanks, also,to Dot and Tom, who were instrumental in the success of this blogging event. You should definitely come fly with us!

God romances us in the sunsets and falling stars; moonlight on lakes and cricket symphonies; warm wind, swaying trees, lush gardens and fierce devotion, as if scripted to your heart. God delights in revealing himself to those who will seek him with all their hearts.

Captivating, John and Stasi Eldredge
It's no mystery that God reaches me through the sky. I am captivated by the shows God seems to put on... just for me. He knows the song of my heart, and He plays it for me with a breathtaking sunrise, an unforgettable sunset, a brilliant double rainbow, an astonishing solar 22° halo (complete with upper tangent arc), beaming crepuscular rays, an exciting dust devil, a dancing funnel cloud, or in one quite memorable case, an unbelievable field of mammatus clouds perfectly timed with sunrise.

When I stepped outside and was greeted with a complete sky full of mammatus clouds (my absolute favorite, but at that point never realized) on that incredibly special November morning, it was truly as if God personally reached down, gently took my hands and said... "Hey there, my precious daughter, take a look at what I made especially for you." It was better than the finest work of art I had ever seen. I was driven to my knees, awestruck at the splendor of His precious gift. That gift from our great and glorious God spoke directly to the deeper part of my heart, it danced on my soul. Through that glorious experience and encounter with the Holy Spirit, I knew, with no uncertainty, that God, our great and magnificent God, loves me. I am precious to Him.

How does He speak to you?

Cooler weather, mudslides in California, another potential typhoon headed for the northern Philippines.
"Don't tell God how big your storm is; tell the storm how big your God is."
Have a blessed day! May all your skies be mammatus filled...
