Sometimes after a dry spell, the Lord will send a wonderful shower of rain. It is such a blessing, for all the dust is removed from the air -- everything smells clean and refreshing -- the sun shines and makes the raindrops glisten on the grass, the trees, the flowers!
It is kind of like that spiritually, also. Our church just had a week-end revival, and the messages of the evangelist challenged us to dig deeper and climb higher to new heights -- to plant our feet on higher ground!
In Isaiah 44:3, we read: "For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring."
In Ezekiel 34:26, we see: "And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing." Praise the Lord!
I don't want to settle for a few raindrops -- I need a refreshing shower -- even an occasional downpour!! So I want to keep my umbrella handy as I walk with my Lord---trusting Him, obeying Him, walking with Him through the sunshine and the shadows--and drawing ever nearer to the heart of God!
