Fluffy Madness

I am in love with the clouds. And I don’t know why.

I was so much thankful to God whenever I see clouds especially on a day, very white with the sun that’s very bright. I love them when they cover the sun giving them a glowing feature. I love them when the night's so deep and they join the full smiling moon and the countless stars. I love them when they dance with the horizon—a view of mountain, a lake, and a land. And through the clouds, I stand in awe of the God, the magnificent Creator.

So much with the madness with clouds, I remember Moses’ times. When God allowed Israelites to exit from Egypt, they are guided with clouds during day making clouds a representation of God Almighty. Also the book of Psalms and Proverbs had this word too: clouds. Job also had much to say about clouds and so with the book of Ezekiel, Isaiah and Revelation. The Bible had many words to describe clouds.

Okay. Clouds. What are clouds? Scientifically defined, it is visible mass of water particle in the air above the earth. In a deeper way, clouds have its purpose.

What do clouds do?

1. Protection

Clouds protect us from too much sunlight which can cause skin aging, skin darkening and worse skin cancer. Its shade during sunny days gives us ease.

Very likely, God protects us from danger. In fact, much more than clouds can do. He protects us from the harm rays of the enemies. He even made a way to save us from death by having His son die for us. What more can we ask for?

"For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory."

-Deuteronomy 20:4 NIV

2. Preparation

Clouds make us prepare. Literally speaking, clouds help us predict the weather.

God prepares us—our hearts and minds—whenever there are coming problems. God prepares our ways and plans for the future.

"When times are good, be happy;but when times are bad, consider this:God has made the one as well as the other.Therefore, no one can discoveranything about their future."

-Ecclesiastes 7:14 CEV 

"No one has ever imagines what God has prepared for those who love Him. "

-1 Corinthians 2:9 NCV

3. Provision

Clouds, specifically dark clouds, bring rain.

Dark clouds refer to the big, seemingly impossible-to-solve problems or suffering in this earthly life. But when we cast these burdens to God, He will surely help us. And with the strength of Christ in us, we can do all things. We can make it through these problems. After trials, with God, are victories and blessings indeed.

"But my God shall supply all your need according His riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

-Philippians 4:19 KJV

Better read Lamentations 3, a hope for God’s love and mercy.

I certainly love clouds and loving more the Maker of it.

How clouds are formed? That’s for the next talk. ^_^
