The Lord's glory

In my distress I called to the Lord;
    I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
    my cry came before him, into his ears.
The earth trembled and quaked,
    and the foundations of the mountains shook;
    they trembled because he was angry.
Smoke rose from his nostrils;
    consuming fire came from his mouth,
    burning coals blazed out of it.
He parted the heavens and came down;
    dark clouds were under his feet.
10 He mounted the cherubim and flew;
    he soared on the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him—
    the dark rain clouds of the sky.
12 Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced,
    with hailstones and bolts of lightning.
13 The Lord thundered from heaven;
    the voice of the Most High resounded.[d]
14 He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy,
    with great bolts of lightning he routed them.
15 The valleys of the sea were exposed
    and the foundations of the earth laid bare
at your rebuke, Lord,
    at the blast of breath from your nostrils.

Remember the times when you were once a kind and when you called out to your dad, he would just come and pick you up? You were in the ditch and your parents(mom or dad) picked you up, comforted you?

We grow as adults and forget that kind of embrace. God is our Father and whenever we call out to Him, He would really ride His Cherubim and come down from heaven and embrace us! We keep on thinking that God is a God who rages with anger and will rain fire down from heaven onto us, but thats not fully true! God is a loving Father who wants to come down and embrace His children! nothing more than just really wanting to embrace us when we cry out to Him.

That said, God may not necessary pull us out of tough times, but He will be with us always. His presence will always be with us, but He may not bring us out of the circumstance but He will be with us, no matter what!
