God shook the Heavens for ME!!!

I was reading in II Samuel 22 yesterday and came across some powerful passages of how God responded when David cried to Him for help!

Join me in reading through a few verses in this passage.

II Samuel 22:7-20

⁷In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.

 ⁸Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.

 ⁹There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

 ¹⁰He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.

 ¹¹And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.

 ¹²And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.

 ¹³Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.

 ¹⁴The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.

 ¹⁵And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.

 ¹⁶And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

 ¹⁷He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;

 ¹⁸He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.

 ¹⁹They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

 ²⁰He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

Because HE delighted in me??! Wow, the King of the Universe….He delights so much in us, that when we call unto Him, He literally moves heaven and earth to come to our rescue! Isn't that amazing?? Yeah sure, we can say, "Well, that was for David…many thousands of years ago!" But you know what…our God is the same God yesterday, today and forever. He has not changed, He does not change! What has changed is our belief and trust in Him…we haven't been raised to believe in a big God. We've forgotten…But He is still the same! 

One of my favorite quotes from Oswald Chambers goes like this:

"When we choose deliberately to obey God, then He will tax the remotest star and the last grain of sand to assist us with all His almighty power." 

That's the God we serve…there's nothing to small for Him, there's nothing to large for Him! What an amazing God we serve!

"And even now I think I hear the heaven's rumbling…" :-)
