Thunderstorms

Thunderstorms are no stranger to New Mexico. They make their grand entrances close to every other day (sometimes every day). The power they have is like nothing else. The roaring through the mountains is incredible. It literally shakes the ground of the Rocky Mountains that I am currently living in and walking on each day. The rumble reminds me of how incredibly small I am. Compared to thunder, I am nothing. At my loudest (which is pretty dang loud), I can't even be heard for a mile. Yet, thunder is heard from miles and and miles away. At my highest jump, I couldn't be felt 3 feet away. You can feel the roll of thunder for miles as well. It's pretty amazing to me. Even though I am so small, I am seen as utter greatness in His eyes.

Thunder also reminds me how great God is. In Job, His voice is compared to thunder. How though it is so powerful, it is majestic.

"After that comes the sound of his roar; he thunders with his majestic voice. When his voice resounds, he holds nothing back. God's voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding." Job 37:4-5"

Although he is good, His power is scary. There is absolutely no way we can control it and i think that's part of what makes it so unnerving. Just like thunder.
