God can speak with a still small voice or He can roar with the majesty of thunder!

“At this also my heart trembles, And leaps from its place. Hear attentively the thunder of His voice, And the rumbling that comes from His mouth. He sends it forth under the whole heaven, His lightning to the ends of the earth. After it His voice roars; He thunders with His majestic voice, And He does not restrain them when His voice is heard. God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend.” Job 37:1-5 NKJV

God is to be feared for His great works; His wisdom in them is unsearchable.

We have all seen the destructive power of “mother nature.” Too few behold natural events and see the power of Almighty God in them!

A tsunami can wash away everything in its path. God decrees how far the oceans stretch. An earthquake can shake us back to the Stone Age. God can shake the heavens. A volcano can spew fire and lava miles away. The Lord uses them to create new lands.

Elihu wanted Job to know God holds the reins of power. He wanted Job to know the Lord uses His power in ways people cannot comprehend. The ancients could not understand God’s use of His infinite power because His wisdom was infinitely higher than theirs.

Jesus wants us to know all the power of heaven and earth is His. He holds the universe together. He uses His infinite power in ways we cannot understand today. We cannot understand it because His wisdom is infinitely higher than ours could ever be!

God’s power is terrifying. If we could understand the enormity of His power it would terrify us. If we new the depth of God’s love we would never fear anyone or anything!

God could destroy His enemies in less time than it takes to comprehend the thought of it. He could eliminate all evil with a single thought. God tempers His power with mercy and longsuffering. The Lord dispenses justice with infinite wisdom!

God can speak with a still small voice or He can roar with the majesty of thunder!

Behold the power of Almighty God. See Him in the crashing waves of the great oceans. See Him in the rotation of the stars and planets. Find Jesus in the loving hearts of His little ones. Obey Jesus like a child and your heart will overflow with joy!

Keep an out for the tender move of God’s Spirit when you to pray for people. Watch for His mercy and grace when people born dead in trespasses and sins turn to Jesus!

When my heart is focused on the love of Jesus my eyes are not distracted by the lust of the flesh. When I set my eyes on fleshly desires they grow stronger and lead me away from Jesus. When I surrender to the pride of life I am separated from the vine of life!

Does God need to thunder through the heavens for you hear Him? Or can you hear the whispers of His love in the quiet of the night?

Stop, be still and listen. Jesus still speaks to people who listen in faith!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV

The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ!

This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.

The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.

The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him!

Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved.

God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!

Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.

We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus!

Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.

God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

God can speak with a still small voice or He can roar with the majesty of thunder!
