in the clouds

I’m in the air somewhere between Atlanta and Chicago.  As many times as I’ve flown (one of my favorite things to do) I’m always astounded by flying through the clouds. It is simply amazing to me. Each time, I’m like a little kid peering through the window with a look of awe on my face. It reminds me of God’s awesome power to create something like that. Then, as the plane climbs higher above the clouds, I notice how the cars, trucks, houses and buildings get smaller and smaller until they all look like little toys. I’m then reminded how teeny, teeny tiny I am in God’s infinitely awesome creation. And, I realize how truly blessed I am that He desires my fellowship…that He created me in His image and for His purpose…and no matter how tough life gets, I know He is in control and He cares about me. Even when I don’t understand. Even when I don’t know what to do. He knows. He’s orchestrating it all. Just like He put those clouds right outside my window. Exactly where He wanted them.
