Dear Friends,
The sheer power that abides in the person of God
is, honestly, terrifying.
During our vacation on the coast of Alabama we
observed the power of the ocean under the influence of Tropical
Storm Hannah. To feel the salt in the driving wind, hear the
crashing of the water, and see the foaming white waves billowing
into land like charging bison was incredible-awe inspiring. To
think that no man could tame that power is humbling. To know that
God, as the creator of that power, has even greater power than any
of this creation is nothing short of terrifying.
As we watched the storm and felt its winds
lashing out, there was always the assurance that if we really
needed to, or even wanted to, we could flee the fury of creation.
Along with that was the clear understanding that no one will flee
the fury of the creator, ever. His power-omnipotent. His
presence-omnipresent. His knowledge of all that touches me, my
excuses, my inner thoughts, my motives, my heart-omniscient.
To experience that kind of terrifying power
working in love will bring a man to his knees in worship and
adoration.
Romans 8:31, 35 What shall we then say to
these things? If God be for us, who can be against us…What shall
separate us from the love of Christ…
Let’s worship…together.
