A Taste of Oklahoma

Ooooooooo ok-lahoma where the wind comes sweepin' down the plains...

We sure had wind today in Clarksville. Driving on I-24 from Bear Hollow to Clarksville was a trick too. I had to work at keeping the old faithful PT Cruiser on the road.

Here's a cool thought - it's from Amos (a book in the Old Testament)

4:13
He who forms the mountains, creates the wind, and reveals his thoughts to man, he who turns dawn to darkness, and treads the high places of the earth-- the Lord God Almighty is his name.

Most of us already think it's really incredible that God created the mountains, and perhaps it's kind of neat to be reminded on a windy day that He creates the wind. But here's the part that I think is most amazing in that verse "and reveals His thoughts to man."

1 Corinthians 2 explains it a little more
1 Corinthians 2:6-16
9 However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"-- 10 but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.


Wow! I think if we could ever totally grasp the truth that God, who created the mountains and the wind wants us to know His thoughts... I think it would totally transform how we live and how we worship.
You can find out a whole bunch of God's thoughts spending some time each day reading your Bible. That is the main way His Spirit will reveal His thoughts to you.



People would pay big bucks to know the thoughts of God. You can find out for FREE!
How awesome is that?
Now, go, get off the silly computer and read your Bible. :)
