He uses the things of this earth to show His power. He even uses us to show His power. I have witnessed what what God can do in a family that has had a child with some health issues, and he was completely healed. God uses the small things of this world to confound the wise.
"He made darkness His secret place; His pavilion round about Him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies."(18:11) "At the brightness that was before Him His thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire."(18:12) "The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave His voice; hail stones and coals of fire."(18:13) "Yea, He sent out His arrows, and scattered them; and He shot out lightnings, and discomfited them."(18:14) "Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of Thy nostrils."(18:15) The Lord has done great and mighty things, and yet He took time from all that He did during Creation to spend time with us.
"He sent from above, He took me, He drew me out of many waters."(18:16) He pulled us out of the deep. He will go as far as He need to to bring us out of our sin.
"He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me."(18:17) When we think that all is lost in the battle against the enemy; the Lord gives us deliverance.
"They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay."(18:18) The Lord helps us to stand against our enemies, even when they are pressing upon us hard.
"He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me."(18:19) He takes us to places where He can show His power and do it on a grand scale.
"The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me."(18:20) We are only righteous because of Christ's imputed righteousness, and we are only clean because of the washing in the blood of Christ.
