(Note from Linda: Karen shared this on the private website yesterday and since it’s such a powerful and simple message, *I appreciate her permission to share it here as well because there is no doubt that we all would be mightily blessed and encouraged if we just understood what a difference our God can make! Thanks for such a simple and yet powerful reminder, Karen!)

Hi Everyone. God revealed Himself in a mighty way to me this morning, and I want to share it with you.

I walked outside with our dog, as I do every morning, and looked toward the east. The sun was rising into a beautiful blue cloudless sky and I spoke to God about how there was not a cloud in the sky, when He brought yesterday morning to my mind.

I saw no sun yesterday. I could see a small bit of pink way off in the southeast sky, but it didn’t look promising. I also could see patches of rain coming down in the distance from steel gray clouds, and I remember noting a variety of angry-looking cloud formations. At the time, I hoped my dog would hurry and get to doing her business because it was going to rain soon and she hates the rain.

Wow! Twenty-four hours later, there was no trace of the storm. Some might say, “What a difference a day makes!” but I say, “What a difference our God makes!” The God of the universe, the Creator of the earth and the sky, can in one sweep of His hand dispel every menacing cloud and erase them totally from view. Our lives may be cloudy and stormy now, and we might not even be able to see the sun yet, but it is coming because His promise to us is blue sky and bright sunshine after we weather the storm.

So God reminded me of His power this morning, and how quickly He can act and how completely He can transform…not just the sky, but also our hearts, our lives, our spouses, and our marriages.

Praise Him for He is God Almighty!
