Today I Heard the Boom

Most times God speaks

in a still, small voice-

a whisper.

And other times, 

He rocks my world 

with a loud BOOM!

When I need direction, 

I must confess I want 

the BOOM-

the loud voice of God,

and He wants me still enough 

to hear the whisper.

This week I picked up an Orgami Owl locket

that I recently purchased.

My first charm, a bird.

A few months ago

a writer encouraged her readers 

to find something to look at, 

touch, hold in her hand daily

as a reminder of God's love.

The bird has become

that symbol.

"Are you not of more value than the birds?"

Today I heard the BOOM of God, 

I sensed His presence in a mighty way.

Oh, I love the sweet, gentle nudgings of His Spirit.

I love it when His peace

gently calms the storm to a whisper.

I love it when He comes in His own special way.

But today I heard and felt His thunder, 

I heard His voice echo from the pages of His Word,

and everywhere I turned 

there was a powerful reminder of WHO HE IS

and WHOSE i am. 

When I compare my self to HIM, 

I feel small.

But when I realize that I am HIS child, 

saved, loved, healed and delivered

I feel STRONG.

Today I felt the earthquake

AND i HEARD THE BOOM!

Thank you, Lord for both, 

Bonnie:)
