Gods on the Throne

There was an awesome thunder and lightning storm last night and I remembered as a child I always thought God was angry when that happened. I would wonder what had made God so cross and I would hide under the sheets in case it was me. (I was a sick kid) Actually it clears the air, reduces stuffiness and leads the way to better weather. I began to think last night as I lay with the curtains open and watched the display how an odd thunder and lightning in our relationships isn’t bad either. As I move on through this process and hope has come alive in my life again its important not to reverse but to push forward and when reverse happens some thunder and lightning might be needed. It brings a reality check to our situation, clears the air, reduces stuffiness and makes us live WITH our pasts and not IN them. In the last 4 weeks I have begun to hear God again and allow Him to take me to the promises of His Word that I have dived into and clung onto for 4 months now even when they seemed impossible, some of these I can’t share with you yet but I will when God reveals the time. The old hymn says, “His promises are true, He will not forget you. God is still on the throne”.
