“He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters; He makes the clouds His chariot; He walks upon the wings of the wind; He makes the winds His messengers, flaming fire His ministers.”  (Psalm 104:3-4)

 

We moderns do not think in terms of physical realities.  “Oh, that’s what superstitious people do.”  The Lord does speak through all that He has made.  He sends messages that are easy to see if you will receive it. He gives good tidings and warnings through all that happens. The earth is His and all that is in it.  Listen, for daily the Lord is speaking to You. Come into His counsel and hear His Word.

Lord, I live in this age with so much noise but do not hear the clear words You have spoken and speak. Guide me, O Lord, in the way of eternal life that I may now and always walk according to the truth You reveal. When I need to see a sign, help me to see. Where it is just an event, help me to avoid the easily excitable people who give false messages. You are my discernment and hope, Lord.

Holy Spirit, open my ears to hear clearly and open my eye to see clearly. As You give messages, open my mind to receive what You give that I may live into the hope and promise of eternity that Christ has made possible through grace. Guide me, O Lord, in the way You would have me go. Lead me into the truth in every circumstance that I may now and always walk in the way of truth. Amen.
