THE THUNDER OF PRAISE

Today's reading: Revelation 18-22

"Then I heard again what sounded like the shout of a huge crowd, or the roar of mighty ocean waves, or the crash of loud thunder: Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns." Revelation 19:6 NLT

It's pretty quiet here on our little prairie.

No large crowds here in the country.

No crashing waves in our landlocked little town in southern Illinois.

But thunder? A thunderstorm rolls across our prairie every so often.

The clouds billow and build. The lightning courses across the sky. The winds pick up. 

And it thunders.

Loud, booming, earth-shaking thunder rolls.

I won't hear the peals of thunder again without thinking of this verse and the praise in heaven!

I won't allow another 'storm' to pass without thinking about how loud and boisterous and deserved the praise of God is.

I want to participate in the thunder of praise. Now. Here. In practice for heaven!
