NOT ALL STORMS ARE BAD
(Psalm 18:7-15)
Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
[8] There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
[9] He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
[10] And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
[11] He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
[12] At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
[13] The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
[14] Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
[15] Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
These verses present one of the greatest
descriptions of a storm found in the Bible. It is
a graphic picture of the way God works when He
comes to the aid of His children. David was
saying in these verses that God the Creator, God
the Deliverer, used everything in nature to come
to his aid. The earth shook, down to its
foundations. Smoke came up, and fire came out.
Coals were kindled. The heavens bowed down. The
wind began to blow, for God was coming on the
wings of the wind. We see darkness, dark waters,
thick clouds, even hailstones and coals of fire.
Thunder, lightning--the very breath of God was
blowing across the fields.
When the child of God is in His will, all of
nature works for him. When the child of God is
out of His will, everything works against him.
Remember Jonah? He ran away from God in
disobedience, and what happened? A storm
appeared. The wind and waves were violent. That
little boat went up and down on the ocean like a
cork. Even the mariners were worried. Jonah
disobeyed God, and everything in nature worked
against him. David obeyed God, and everything in
nature worked for him.
God can use the storms of life to fulfill His
will. Is the wind blowing? He is flying on the
wings of the wind. Are the clouds thick? He will
bring showers of blessing out of them. Don't be
afraid of the storm. Storms can come from the
hand of God and be the means of blessing.
Praise The Lord, Amen And Amen.
