Last night we didn't get to go fishing in the evening. We were not able to experience God's peace. God showed up with power last evening. We had a massive storm move through. Same spot different result. We all sat on the back porch which overlooks the lake. It rained so hard the mountain range which creates a beautiful back drop disappeared.
The great thing about a storm on Smith Mountain Lake is that you are in the mountains and the clouds seem so low you could reach out an touch them. The lightening looks like it is dancing on the water as it bolts from the sky.
In Noah's day two things happened. It rained for the first time and it was the start of the boating industry. When it rains as hard as it did last night, it can be frightening. If it rained that hard in Noah's day they had to be in awe and fearful at the same time.
Proverbs tells us that the beginning of all knowledge is the fear of God. When you see the power of God like we saw the power of God last night, it brings upon a person a healthy fear of God's power.
I am glad I serve a God who is both peaceful and powerful.
