God's Light Show

I should be in bed right now but i find myself lingering in the classroom, watching lightning light up the sky and listening to thunder rumble. This is what i call, "God's Light Show". It can be both frightening and beautiful at the same time. I guess that is part of my fascination with thunderstorms.
It reminds me of how powerful and awesome God is. He is also beautiful and majestic. Because of who He is and our very limited knowledge of Him we are sometimes frigthened by Him. But as we come to know Him through His Word and through prayer, as we earnestly seek to draw closer to God we gain a love and respect for Him that drives away ALL our fears.
I really should be going to bed right now but before i do will listen to the rain falling against the windows and on the roof. Then i will say a prayer of thanksgiving to the God who not only teaches me through His creation but who is also with me through the storms.
