“He made the winds blow and determined how much rain should fall. He made the laws of the rain and prepared a path for the lightning” (Job 28:25-26 NLT).
When I get a little too big for my britches, God places in my path something that makes my eyes wide with delight in His power and might.
When I lean toward the idea that I, with my planner in hand, have complete control over the day, the week, the month, He mystifies me with a portion of His creation.
When I begin to coddle the thought that I am something, He reminds me of His grace…and how very much I need it.
When I believe I can do it all on my own, He brings along a storm that showcases His abilities.
And I stand in amazement. My jaw hits the floor. I pause in wonderment. I am enchanted by His creativity. I am stopped in my tracks by astonishment. I live out Merriam-Webster’s definition of awe—rapt attention and deep emotion caused by the sight of something extraordinary.
