What Do You See in the Clouds?
Do you remember lying in the grass as a child looking up at the clouds trying to discover the different shapes hiding in the white fluffy puffs high in the sky? Perhaps you were able to spot a fish or a heart or maybe a rabbit floating across the expanse of blue.
The downy cumulus clouds looking like cotton balls and the wispy cirrus clouds along with the dark thunder clouds are fascinating to watch. They are continually changing, moving and evolving with every sweep of the wind.
My focus has changed over the years from looking for shapes in the clouds to looking for a person in the sky. That person is Jesus Christ. We are told in the Bible that one day Jesus will return in the clouds to take His people home. So when I am outside or driving in the car and notice a beautiful setting in the sky, my thoughts long for Jesus to return. It’s a fun exercise to imagine which cloud formation will be the one where He chooses to return.
Will it be in a blanket of clouds covering the sky with only a small opening for His shining glory to appear? Will it be one single cloud against the deep azure expanse? Or will it be on a large cloud surrounded by smaller ones for His angels to be able to accompany Him on His return?
Today I can only imagine, but one day all will see His return in the clouds and there will be no more doubts and unbelief about who Jesus is, because all will be in awe of Him.
Will you join me in looking for Him with great expectation? Will you tell everyone that you know about Jesus’ return so that they will watch for Him too? And more importantly will you live your life each day as though you are anticipating Him to return at any moment?
Revelation 1:7 Look, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be! Amen.
