On this Independence Day weekend, Dallas Holm reflects on the awesome displays of power he witnessed—Fourth of July fireworks, a New York Harbor military parade, flyovers by the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds—and how all of it, put together, barely represents a spark compared to the power and glory of God.
As a thunderstorm rolls in during filming, Dallas draws a simple but striking comparison: the fireworks and military might we celebrate this weekend are nothing next to the lightning and thunder God commands, "not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit" (Zechariah 4:6). He shares a favorite childhood memory of thunder explained as "angels moving furniture," then leads listeners in worship with "How Great Is Our God."
The episode closes in praise—honoring God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and resting in the hope of the resurrection.
Take a moment to reflect: whatever power impresses you this week, remember it's only a shadow of the God we serve.
