All Wet

I left our men's Bible study last night around 10:00. It was fascinating to stand outside and watch the light show that the Lord was putting on! I stopped to get some fuel on the way home and the rain started with a fury. Many of you know exactly what I am talking about because it seems to be raining almost every day here in the Midwest.
On my way to work this morning it was still a blinding rain outside. I was driving about 20 mph BELOW the speed limit. Many places in the road were covered with several inches of water because the storm drains couldn't keep up. Through it all I couldn't help but be reminded of the power of our God.
The news these days is full of stories about local flooding. People are posting pictures and videos of the high water. As a believer it can't help but make one think of the Biblical account of the flood in Genesis. I know the water we are experiencing is nothing compared to the fountains of the deep being broken open and the water standing 15 cubits above the highest mountains, yet even this relatively little water is a wonderful way for God to emphasize his glory. I had no thoughts on my drive in about the rain being a hassle or even an inconvenience, only thoughts about the greatness of our God. What an awesome God we worship!

And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
