The Skies Show Off
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” Psalm 19:1 NIV
My favorite season has arrived in the desert. Monsoon. The clouds roll in dark and ominous.Thunder bowls across the heavens. Lightning zig zags through the clouds like celestial fireworks. Then clouds gush forth their moisture to refresh the patches of drought-ridden soil. In less than an hour, the sky rolls up her show and moves across the vast blue ceiling. Left behind is the promise of its Creator–His rainbow.

Janis@Open My Ears Lord says:
Ann~yes, we have a monsoon season but it’s not like the kind you think of in an Asian country or the rainforest area. This, however, is our rainy season. Washes flood, streets are closed, the skies become dramatic. It’s energizing–like your lily.
Blessings,
Janis
Craig says:
Janis, the picture is beautiful – the wording is poetic – the verse is awesome. Sometimes the sky does show off – and you captured it with three different lenses. Thank you for this. It made me smile. God bless and keep you and all of yours.
Ann Kroeker says:
Stunning. We don’t see that many here in our neck of the woods, in spite of frequently changing weather.
So you actually have a monsoon season?
Sharon says:
I’ve been in a few of those desert storms. You’re right, it’s a beautiful spectacle. God does indeed do wonderful works in the sky – and He is a Master at working in hearts, too!
GOD BLESS!
