I love acknowledging God's creation in my "everyday talk" with my boys. I love seeing their little brains as they think about God taking a paint brush and brushing the sky with the beautiful colors at sunrise or sunset. Recently I heard a sermon, which I don't even remember the topic or the guy preaching it for that matter, but they made a reference to God and His association with clouds throughout the Bible. I loved this! What a great tangible picture of something they see EVERY DAY. For example, God lead the Israelites by a cloud in the desert(ex. 13:21). He gave Moses the ten commandments while covering himself by clouds because Moses could not be see God face to face in his Holiness(ex. 24:15). He ascended into heaven through the clouds after his resurrection(Luke 24). The Holy Spirit came like a dove throught the clouds at Jesus' baptism. Jesus is coming back through the clouds. I am sure there are more...can you think of any?
Let's use this to talk about God to our children, when we sit down, when we rise up and when we walk along the way. (Dt. 6)
