This morning we had some lightning and thunder. I grew up in Southern California. We would occasionally experience thunder and lightning. But I never experienced a powerful storm until I heard and felt the lightning and thunder of North Texas. Windows rattled and even parked cars were moved by the force of the wind and thunder.
I’ve never experienced the power of hurricanes or tornadoes either. I have seen the devastation left behind by these disasters as I’ve worked in disaster relief many times. Growing up in California, however, did give me the experience of living through earthquakes. Talk about power, earthquakes demonstrate some serious power.
Yesterday I wrote about some of the names of Jesus, particularly the name Wonderful Counselor. The second name in the list from Isaiah is Mighty God. God’s might far surpasses the strength of all these natural disasters. His power is unmatched. He created the winds, seas, and the earth. He retains control of all things and sustains all things. Nothing is impossible for Him. So we can bring our requests to Him, knowing He is able to do what we require.
Psalm 93:4 says, “Mightier than the thunders of many waters, mightier than the waves of the sea, the Lord on high is mighty!”
