Beautiful Rain

Oh my goodness the beautiful rain. It simply but powerfully brings the earth to life as the flowers, trees, and grass drink in its refreshing nourishment. 

It reminds me of what God does for us when we are in the midst of a trial. The storm is raging inside of us not knowing what to do or where to turn, when secretly God is giving us power, life, and strength in Him. Teaching us how to completely depend on Him for survival. 

After this long week, a friend of mine called me out of the blue on his way home, mainly of boredom from the long drive...at the end of our conversation he told me I sounded as if I were at the end of my rope of strength and didn't know what to pray for. As the tears came to my eyes he shared something with me that his pastor shared with them in church that morning. 

He was in the store and trying to check out, he had his son with him and there was a lot of noise and commotion going on around him, when all of a sudden his son fell and yelled out for his daddy. At that moment the brother said everything completely went quiet around him... all the noise faded away and he dropped everything to run to his sons side...and that is exactly what God does for us. As soon as we cry out for help to Him, he drops everything and rushes to our rescue. 

How absolutely beautiful. It gave me a new boost of faith in my Father. Last weeks problems completely faded from my mind...and I just felt God's love for me so strong...

I just had to share this with all of you because it brought such joy to my heart knowing that our Father cares for us that much. 

Remember this friends. Satan trembles when we get on our knees to pray. He knows his days are numbered and that through Christ we have full power over him. Don't let him make you think you don't. 

Drink in the rain of life God offers us every day.

Have a blessed day :)
