CONSIDER THE CLOUDS Read: Job 37:1–16 Bible in a Year: Ezra 6–8; John 21 Do you know how the clouds hang poised? Job 37:16 One day many years ago my boys and I were lying on our backs in the yard watching the clouds drift by. “Dad,” one asked, “why do clouds float?” “Well, ,” I began, intending to give him the benefit of my vast knowledge, but then I lapsed into silence. “I don’t know,” I admitted, “but I’ll find out for you.” The answer, I discovered, is that condensed moisture, descending by gravity, meets warmer temperatures rising from the land. That moisture then changes into vapor and ascends back into the air. That’s a natural explanation for the phenomenon. We are amazed at You, wonderful Creator, as we look at Your world. We praise you! But natural explanations are not final answers. Clouds float because God in His wisdom has ordered the natural laws in such a way that they reveal the “wonders of him who has perfect knowledge” (Job 37:16). Clouds then can be thought of as a symbol—an outward and visible sign of God’s goodness and grace in creation. So someday when you’re taking some time to see what images you can imagine in the clouds, remember this: The One who made all things beautiful makes the clouds float through the air. He does so to call us to wonder and adoration. The heavens—even the cumulus, stratus, and cirrus clouds—declare the glory of God. We are amazed at You, wonderful Creator, as we look at Your world. You deserve all the praise our hearts can give and so much more! Creation is filled with signs that point to the Creator.

Beautiful! Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
