When one of His children is in distress and calls out His name in her desperation, ever wonder what God does in heaven?
Then the earth reeled and rocked. The foundations also of the mountains trembled and quaked because He was angry. Smoke went out from His nostrils and devouring fire from His mouth. Glowing coals flamed forth from Him. He bowed the heavens and came down. Thick darkness was under His feet. He rode on a cherub and flew. He came swiftly on the wings of the wind. He made darkness His covering, His canopy around Him, thick clouds dark with water. Out of the brightness before Him hailstones and coals of fire broke through the clouds.
The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered His voice, hailstones and coals of fire. And He sent arrows and scattered them. He flashed forth lightnings and routed them. Then the channels of the sea were seen, and the foundations of the world were laid bare at Your rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
God sometimes says: "I have had enough!" That He feels what we feel is evident here. He is not just looking on saying, "Oh, I guess it's about time I help ole David out." NO! He feels David's indignation. He is mad as ...well, you know. God's boy is in danger, the fight is unfair and the kid needs a miracle. Remember, David described himself as bound by cords of death with torrents of water drowning him. He can't breathe and neither can God. He rises, tears the heavens apart, sends a storm to end all storms complete with hailstones and fiery lightning. God comes forth from His lair like a dragon with fire bursting from his nostrils and His footsteps made the earth quake and tremble. That is how furious He was at the enemy's treatment of His child. Wouldn't want to mess with that.
He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters. He rescued me from my strong enemy and from those who hated me for they were too strong for me.
Oh, we need our Father today to send from on high and take us out of our seas of distress. Can't you see that strong right hand reaching out of time and space and plucking you up right now? Visualize it! There are just some things you cannot work out for yourself....they are too strong for you! Face it and cry out!
What if He doesn't come through, you say? You need to read the above verses again...and again..and again.. Realize that this is YOUR God, too. He loves you just as much as He loved David and is ready to rend heaven and reach His mighty hand down into your earthly desperation to annihilate it with the fire from His nostrils. Things in heaven are as they are on earth.....so, He moves heaven for you, too. Can you see Him thundering around there, blistering mad on your behalf? Done with things you have let bind you for so long? Give up. Call out. Then watch your Salvation, your Shield, your Deliverance, your Rock, your Stronghold and your God turn your world upside down to set you free.
