Sometimes He Comes in the Clouds...

Yes, God has it all under control....really....whether we believe it or not! And (I think) sometimes it is good that we don't believe, because when the whole scenario at hand finally plays itself out, then our eyes are opened to what God was doing all along that we could not see, and we get to knowingly experience God's omnipotence in the form of His unending and merciful love, peace, gentleness and justice for ourselves.

Only then does God gets all of the glory when we see the whole picture, or part of the picture of what He was doing in our lives! It is absolutely amaaaazing to me when I look back at various situations in my life, and see how the puzzle pieces fit together in how it was orchestrated, due to no contrived effort on my part. 'For in him we live and move and have our being...We are his offspring.' Acts 17:28

It is a shame that we usually don't have blind trusting faith in Him at all times, because scripture tells us 'Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." John 20:29

This scripture applies to our faith concerning our whole lives...not just the application mentioned here in the book of John where it illustrates Thomas only believing because he saw with his own eyes Jesus in the flesh after He was raised from the dead.

This reminds me of a great song by Steven Curtis Chapman called,


"Sometimes He Comes in the Clouds."
It is on an awesome compilation worship CD called "My Utmost For His Highest," by several Christian recording artists. Click here to listen to a snippet.

These are the places I was so sure I'd find Him
I've looked in the pages
And I've looked down on my knees
I've lifted my eyes in expectation
To see the sun still refusing to shine, but...

[Chorus:]
Sometimes He comes in the clouds
Sometimes His face cannot be found
Sometimes the sky is dark and grey
But some things can only be known
But sometimes our faith can only grow when we can't see
So sometimes He comes in the clouds

Sometimes I see me, a sailor out on the ocean
So brave and so sure as long as the skies are clear
But when the clouds start to gather I watch my faith turn to fear, but...

[Chorus]
Sometimes He comes in the clouds
Sometimes His face cannot be found
Sometimes the sky is dark and grey
But some things can only be known
But sometimes our faith can only grow when we can't see
So sometimes He comes in the clouds

Sometimes He comes in the rain
And we question the pain
And wonder why God can seem so far away
But time will show us
He was right there with us, and...

[Chorus]
Sometimes He comes in the clouds
Sometimes His face cannot be found
Sometimes the sky is dark and grey
But some things can only be known
But sometimes our faith can only grow when we can't see
So sometimes He comes in the clouds


Just a little something to think about....

BE BLESSED! \0/
