Lightning in His Fists

"He's got thunder in his footsteps and lightning in his wrists,
Our God is an awesome God" 

There's a song for everything, I'm convinced!

This morning (2:30 am) I woke up to the biggest boom of thunder that I have ever heard. It continued to roll and the lightning continued to flash for a good time afterwards. It shook the whole house. I thought, "wow! God is sure powerful!" And He is!

Then this verse from 1 Kings came to mind, and it reminded me that while God is always powerful, sometimes He can be found in the quietest, tiniest things: 

1 Kings 19:11-13

The Lord "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. 13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.

Incredible
