It wasn’t the fireworks that lit up the sky that night, even though they could be seen above the horizon. No, that night there was a greater show, a mightier display. It was a display speaking loudly, declaring the glory of God.
It was a glorious sight to behold the strength of these bolts which lingered oh-so-briefly before our eyes, with nearly blinding shocks of light.
“His lightnings light up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.”—Psalm 97:4
P.S. You can view a closer glimpse of the lightning bolts here.
wow…that looks otherworldly!!

Wow. What incredible photos, Emily Rose! That’s amazing how one of the lightning bolts looks so purple in the first shot.

Great photos, Emily Rose! You have a lovely blog. : )

Wow Emily. These are INCREDIBLE.
Lightning is one of those evasive, taunting subjects of mine. I have YET to capture a good shot, though I try and try (and TRY.) Would you be willing to tell me what your settings were for these captures and how you were able to do it? I sure would love the info.
Beautiful~ STUNNING. AND Breathtaking. All rolled up in one glorious package. Thank you for sharing!

oh wow. That’s beautiful yet scary. And aweing.
My goodness! :O I’ve never seen such lightening and clouds like that! God certainly can make things beautiful and show His glory in them! :D I couldn’t have said it better myself what you said in your post. And that verse is the perfect one to accompany these pictures. :) Thank you so much for the encouragement of seeing God’s creation and power in action! :D Breathtaking!
Blessings, Love, and Hugs! :)

P.S. – I think that’s amazing that you were able to get such wonderful shots of the lightening! Great job! ;)
Awesome pictures! They send shivers through me!
I just discovered your blog via a search for fabric flower tutorials, and I just adore your photography! I am a gluten-free, Christ-following artist as well! :o)
Beautiful! What settings was your camera on? I LOVE storm photography, I always want to be outside when a storm’s brewing!
Love the pics! We had similar lightning storms here in the south yesterday.
Awesome! What a mighty God we serve! I enjoy your blog!
That is simply amazing. Great shots!
Here in Minnesota we also had a lovely lightning storm on the 4th. Definately beat the fireworks my neighbors were shooting off.
Which night was this? Was it the Friday before the Fourth? I loved the lightning, but my camera can’t capture it… I LOVE your pictures!
love,
Gabrielle

Thank you for posting these. They are beautiful. Isn’t God’s power amazing and wonderful?
Amazing pictures!
Randomly discovered your blog today. Absolutely love these photos in particular. I’ve been waiting for a thunderstorm to take photos of :)
It is so powerful to see the force of God’s creation in thunderstorms. When I was little, my dad used to tell me not to be afraid because storms were God’s way of washing the sky out…and I was comforted. :)
Much <3 in Christ,

Just found your photos of the lightening, and the storm. So beautiful! I enjoy storms like that myself, perhaps because it magnifies God’s wonderful, strong power for me.
