And the Lord will cause his majestic voice to be heard and the descending blow of his arm to be seen, in furious anger and a flame of devouring fire, with a cloudburst and storm and hailstones. –Isaiah 30:30, ESV
I think He likes the hail and wages war against the thunderstorm. That He slowly –but briskly- moves through the mountains and makes them flat like pancakes. I’ve heard it takes a big deal just to see Him-and the worst part, you can’t really find Him. They say He’s everywhere, but everywhere seems just too much for him. Does He ever get sick, or tired, or frustrated of dealing with us? I mean, it might sound crumby at times, but what does He know of me? I know I’m not the best person, I mean…Yeah, I’m not the best. So I’m in hot water with Him.
Some people say they’ve heard Him, some even claim to have seen Him. It must be pretty amazing, but terrifying at the same time! Just picturing someone rising up from His throne to breathe into you…I mean, that takes the cake in SFX and theatrics!
But nothing’s happening today. Nothing seems to move, or at least, go into the right direction. It’s all quiet. Too…quiet to function. As it is, the sun doesn’t even feel the same way as yesterday. There’s nothing too daring or spectacular. Nothing’s black nor white, but it’s not even fully crowned with the rainbow’s colors. There’s nothing so…majestic about it. All is laid bare to Him, I think that’s how He likes everything to be. Where’s the hail? Where’ the thunderstorm? Where’s the consuming fire from Sinai? I can’t see Him, I just can’t. How can He be so big and great if the whole creation stumbles to see Him? Yo no entiendo, I just can’t understand…
The sun breaks down. There is a wind that breaks through the rocks and the gnashing weeping willows. Wind above every wind, they say. It bursts through, as if He was silencing His detractors with the flick of His finger. Darkness weaves into the light, while the moon smiles profusely.
And it hits my face. The wind blows through my face.
But nothing’s happening today. Nothing seems to move, or at least, go into the right direction. It’s all quiet. Too…quiet to function.
That’s just okay for me at least. I just saw Him. I just saw His face…Majestic.
