GOD USES SMALL THINGS! A Tiny Cloud (a blogpost for a sermon to be preached at Kenwood Church in Livonia, MI, on Jan. 31, 2016)

It hadn't rained in 3 years and now the rains would fall.  The prophet told the king to prepare for a great downpour.  The sign would not be claps of thunder or lightning illuminating the sky.  The proof that God was bringing the rain was a tiny cloud.  Not until the cloud appeared did the sky blacken and drop the liquid of life.

Why does God send a small cloud ahead of the mighty storm?  Why does He send the baby before the miraculous messiah?  Why does He send the persecutor of the Church to reach the Gentiles?  Why does He send the boy to kill the giant?  Why does He send the backward apostles to introduce the world to the Kingdom?  Why does He?

Reminders.  We all need them sometime.

God can do anything.  The vessel He uses is never the point.  The still, small voice of God is still the voice of God.
