And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them. Job 37:21
Imagine seeing the sky and the streaks of the sun are peeking through the clouds while they are being moved by the wind and the brightness of the sun makes itself known and can shine in its fullness. Imagine this being the introduction to God’s glory being slowly revealed. God making Himself known and the Spirit of God, as the wind, removing the clouds of despair, trials, circumstances, and the anxieties to reveal Him in all of His fullness and all of His glory. What a vision of wonderful as it unfolds.
This is what I’m feeling in my spirit today. Words cannot begin to fully express the first 12 days of December, for they have truly been eye opening for me. It is as if the wind has blown and cleared the air; as if a fresh wind has come and swept away the clouds and has allowed me to see things in a new light; to see the glory of God that shines on me, thus revealing His splendor and His power in my life.
Here in this scripture, it tells us that men don’t see the bright light behind the clouds until the wind passes and clears or cleanses them. Thus revealing that the Spirit of God is liken to the wind, He comes in and will make all things clear. The Spirit, who reveals, convinces, guides, gives peace and comforts us that God in all of His greatness is in control of all things. Yes, we are going to be in the dark or the way will not always be made clear to us regarding our life or God’s plan for our life. We won’t always know or be shown what He is doing or what He is trying to perfect in us, but believe me, divine perfection is needed for our good. His perfection has to be worked in and through us.There are things He has to do in us to get us ready for His purpose.
Job could not see his way through, nor did he understand God's purpose or what was happening to him but he did understand the greatness of God, and the majesty of God. He understood the Excellency of His power. We might not understand God’s ways, His thoughts nor His methodology, but if we understand who God is and the vastness of His power as it pertains to our life, then we can or we should rest assure that although we may suffer some natural, yet temporary pain (to our flesh of course, because it does not want to suffer), it is for our good and He is in control of all things that concern us. No pain, no gain right? He wants to take us to higher heights and deeper depths. To put it naturally, to bigger and better things. This requires some action on our part. However, if we are honest, we don't like change and we love our comfortability. I have a quote that says, "the key to change is to let go of fear." Change is inevitable, especially if plan to follow the path that God has laid out for your life and during that plan there will be some dark and cloudy days.
If we could but wait patiently during our cloudiness, our dark periods of not being able to see in our trials, wait until the Lord begins to shine through and reveal Himself and His plan. Waiting until a fresh wind has come and blown away the clouds and we are able to see God in all of His glory and in all of His fullness. We can rest assure that He will appear, shining brightly after the Wind has removed the clouds, cleansing our situations and restoring us to be used for His glory and for His purpose; taking us from strength to strength in Him, shedding a light of hope that He is still with us and knows and hears us as we cry out to Him. He will not forsake us because He has our best interest at heart.
I love how God's favor shines through as the fresh wind begins to gently blow revealing Him in His fullness, in His magnificence, and in all of His brilliance.
Until the morning, be blessed,
Cynde
