He sends rain

We have been abnormally dry around these parts for a majority of this year. We have experienced a severe drought, though GOD has provided us with a very ample supply from which to produce potable water.

Everyone's grass has withered, we've been under a "no burn" order for months, which is absolutely necessary. When I mowed the leaves that had fallen a few weeks ago it looked as if I was Pigpen, with a cloud of dust following me all over the yard. It was during this long, sustained drought that many wondered if it would rain again...and, if so, when.

Today's word is Job 5:10, NLT, which reads, "He gives rain for the earth and water for the fields."

We are now experiencing some rain. In the last few days, we have had several inches of rain, and it won't be long before everyone has forgotten about he drought we experienced this past summer and fall. Why? Because we take for granted the goodness of GOD and all His provisions.

Isn't it amazing that He sends the rain exactly when we need it? The grass that withered is now receiving the necessary nourishment for it to come back strong and full next spring. The trees that struggled to keep leaves through the last few weeks of autumn are now receiving the necessities to grow new leaves next year. Just as GOD provides for the leaves and the grass and the birds and every living creature, He provides for us - exactly what we need, exactly when it is needed. He sends rain...

Be Blessed,
