Mistaken Power


The whole earth is full of His glory. God's power and might maybe seen most in nature. On a recent trip to Jasper I encountered my first avalanche. Ok, so it didn't make it all the way down the mountain, but Edith Cavell made a stark and crisp rumble that startled most. As our eyes changed directions in an instant, snow was tumbling from the top of the mountain to a level below. The glacier caught it and stopped its rampage before taking its final leap onto a crowd of watching people.

Think about it. One can say that it is simply snow build up that gives way, but when taking in the roaring sound, the stunning optics, the adrenalin that filled each persons veins the only thing I can think of is this: God spoke and we all listened. He said, "Look at my power and my might."
