Consider The Clouds
Our Daily Bread is hosted
by Les Lambon
READ: Job 37:1-16
“Do you know how
the clouds are balanced?” - (Job 37:16)
One day many years
ago my boys and I were lying on our backs in the yard watching the clouds drift
by. “Dad,” one asked, “why do clouds float?”
“Well, son,” I began,
intending to give him the benefit of my vast knowledge, but then I lapsed into
silence. “I don’t know,” I admitted, “but I’ll find out for you.”
The answer, I
discovered, is that condensed moisture, descending by gravity, meets warmer
temperatures rising from the land.
That moisture then
changes into vapor and ascends back into the air. That is a natural explanation
for the phenomenon.
But natural
explanations are not final answers. Clouds float because God in His wisdom has
ordered the natural laws in such a way that they reveal the “wondrous
works of Him who is perfect in knowledge” (Job 37:16).
Clouds then can be
thought of as a symbol—an outward and visible sign of God’s goodness and grace
in creation.
So someday when
you are taking some time to see what images you can imagine in the clouds,
remember this:
“The One who made all things beautiful makes
the clouds float through the air. He does so to call us to wonder and
adoration. The heavens—even the cumulus, stratus, and cirrus clouds—declare the
glory of God.” - David Roper
“The Lord’s creation you’ll adoreAs you observe each day unfold;
Let your imagination soar
As you His handiwork behold.” - Branon
Creation is filled
with signs that point to the Creator.
Would you want to have a deeper relationship with God?
God has made
it possible for you to know Him and experience
an amazing change in your own life by receiving
His Son, Jesus Christ, and have eternal life.
Say the following prayer:
“Father
God, I confess I am a sinner and my sins have separated me from You.
I
am truly sorry. I now want to turn
away from my past sinful life and live a new life pleasing to You.
Please
forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again.
I
believe that Your Son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the
dead, is alive, and hears my prayer.
I
invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from
this day forward. Thank You that according to your Word, I am now born again.
Please
send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of
my life. I promise to study Your Word – the Bible.
Please
use me for Your glory.
In
Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.”
