Dark Weather
We have had quite the run of gray days - the skies full of dark storm clouds. In the last couple of weeks the sun's activities have been well hidden from view by an ever present gray blanket of clouds. For me, so many days without sunshine begin to feel weary and discouraging. However, God in His faithfulness, encourages us even in the day to day. This morning our family worship time included the reading of Psalm 97 and tucked away in verses 1-2 we found this profoundly new perspective on "gloomy" weather. I quote "The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad! Clouds and thick darkness are all around him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne." Wow! It's right there - The LORD reigns - clouds and thick darkness surround him. A good reminder of His ever-present glory and greatness. So my heart rejoices as the cloudy weather no longer brings gloom but cheer to my heart with another evidence of His presence.

Now that is a golden nugget, something to savor, now and in the months to come.
Thanks for pointing that out. It is an encouragement for when our worldly ways want to divide what we physically see into light and dark and forgetting that God is sovereign over all.
Mrs. Van Dellen ~ One thing I love about the Scriptures is the never ending source of encouragement within it's pages, filled with so much that we long to come back and savor. God is indeed good!
Mr. Yen
Good point - with God sovereign over all we truly can be eternal optimists.
