UNROLL
A black storm front rolling in over the high ridges of Lebanon and huge old cedars, the first wind moving their branches.

The voice of the LORD

strikes with flames of fire.

The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness;

the LORD shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of the LORD twists the oaks

and strips the forests bare.

And in His temple all cry, “Glory!”

Where the storm went

Over the waters, then Lebanon, then Sirion, which is Hermon, then all the way south to the “Wilderness of Kadesh.” The storm crosses the whole land.

Reflect

Feeling small

Where have you felt small before God this year? Write it down. Then read how the storm ends.

A wide valley after the storm, floodwater lying bright and still across the fields, a few sheep on a low rise in clean air.

The LORD sits enthroned over the flood;

the LORD is enthroned as King forever.

The LORD gives His people strength;

the LORD blesses His people with peace.
