Clouds Over My Head

“And the clouds are the dust of His feet.” Nahum 1:3b

Are there clouds hanging over your head today? Are you in a place of uncertainty or indecision? Are you struggling with illness or a financial strain? Are you concerned about your friends, spouse, children or grandchildren?  Do you fear where our great nation is headed?

When you see a cloud, small puffy fluffs of white or a multitude of ominous   dark grey storm clouds that obscure the whole sky, Don't fear!  Smile!

Clouds are the dust stirred up by God’s feet as HE acts.

Remember Paul and Silas in jail, their feet chained in stocks. The jail is a dungeon. It is dark. It stinks. Most likely there are rats, bats, spiders and all kinds of pestilence.

What do our friends Paul & Silas do? Do they whine or doubt or fear?

Not our guys. They pray and sing praises to their God and King.

Suddenly there is an earth quake and the doors are opened and their chains drop away. (Acts 16: 25 & 26)

Why?

Well, God heard their praises and he began to tap his feet. We know that God sits on his throne and that the earth is His footstool. (Isaiah 66:1) So, when God taps His feet things begin to happen here on earth.

When you see the clouds over head or feel that you are shrouded in clouds of uncertainty, pain, or fear, know that HE is there and actively working on your behalf. Sing a song of praise to Him, even if it has a whinny sound, and you will be amazed at the way HE will act in your behalf.

Dear Ones, now go on and read the first part of Nahum 1:3

“The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked. The Lord has His way in the whirlwind and in the storm….and the clouds  are the dust………”

Never fear dear ones of the Lord. HE is active in all your situations! The clouds are the dust under His mighty feet as HE stirs things up.

With overwhelming praise and thanksgiving to the ever-present Lord who acts on our behalf.  With a smile of deep gratitude; I remain His child ever in need of reminders of who HE is..the I Am that I Am…..
