He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind.

—Ps 104:3b

There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens to help you and on the clouds in his majesty.

—Deut 33:26

• Through the marvel of computer-generated imagery, it appears that people can do anything—fly, become invisible, display super-human strength, breathe under water, and more. We know that this is fantasy, but we are entertained nevertheless.

• But there is One who can do such things. God can do anything he wants, and the image here is of God planting his feet on the clouds and riding across the skies. Written in a time when flight was considered only a cartoonish fantasy and beyond the wildest imaginations of men, this image spoke of God’s boundless abilities.

• Praise the God of the impossible. Nothing is too hard for him.

• Fix your eyes on Jesus, who ascended into the clouds and who will one day come back in the same way (Acts 1:9, 11).
