Did you first learn those words from reading comic books?

They are resurfacing on all the current movies about superheroes, transformers, bigger-than-life comic heroes on the mega screen for all to view.

I fantasize that these “power” words were first used by God during His creation frenzy. ZAP and the oceans roared over the earth. KA-POW the animals are now roving, running and checking out their new surroundings.

We may not use those words but the amazement and awe are the same when we are presented with our newborn, or a precious grandchild to just rock and cherish. Our first raise or promotion at a job we love; perhaps holding our well-earned diploma in our hands. The mountain top experiences of our lives are punctuated with these onomatopoeias: “Words that imitate a sound.”

We are not permanent dwellers of mountain top experiences. The reality is we wander through dark valleys sometimes, knowing those ZING BLAST ZAP occurrences will reoccur. It is God who leads us through the valley. If we put our trust in Him, He will lead us and bring us to His powerful KA-POW blessings.

The 23rd Psalm is a reminder we may have memorized from our youth, or heard over and over again as we grew. I will fear no evil because my God is with me. As we learn lessons in this life and move from valley to mountain, unconditional love from our creator is KA-POW to-the-max!
