Today's reading: Nahum 1-3

"...He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm..." Nahum 1:3 NLT

Displays-to put or spread out for viewing; to make evident; to exhibit ostentatiously (elaborately or conspicuously).

I tend to think about God's power being displayed in the creation, the parting of the Red Sea, the shutting of the lions' mouths and the saving of the Hebrew boys from the furnace.

I see His power in the sunrises and sunsets, the waves, the frost painted meticulously on the blades of grass.

I hear of His power in the testimonies of people, including myself, who have been touched by Him.

What I want to start seeing is His power in the whirlwinds and storms.

I want to look for Him in them.

I want to see Him at work, even and especially, when I don't feel like He's up to much.

As the waves crash over the little boat of faith I sail in, I want to see His power.

As the winds whip around me, uprooting my plans and my preconceived notions of Who He is, I want to see Him.

As the aftermath of the most recent storm leaves me distraught and displaced, I want to see His power above all else.

I want that for you, too.
