Rain



As I watch the rain fall...there are many things that go through my thoughts....
RAIN:
Refreshing
Cleansing
Makes the grass green
Makes the flowers bloom April showers bring forth May flowers :)
The trees bud
Good to drink satisfies our thirst..
Washes the dirty sidewalks and streets
Settles the dust


What does it do for me???? God's word is like the rain
It cleanses my life....
It refreshes my thirsty heart
Purifies my life
Washes me and makes me a "clean" person
It causes my roots to go deeper
Drink of the Well and live!!!!!

Had to think of this song ....by Michael W Smith

Let it rain, let it rain.
Open the floodgates of Heaven
The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad
Let the distance shores rejoice
Clouds and thick darkness surround him
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne
A fire goes before him and consumes his foes on every side
His lightning lights up the world
The earth sees and trembles
The mountains melt like wax before the Lord
Before the Lord of all the earth
The Heavens proclaim His righteousness
And all peoples will see His Glory
We want to see Your Glory, God! 
Do you want to see His Glory?
Lift your voices, lift your hands! 
Let it rain, let it rain.
Open the floodgates of Heaven

Umbrellas at all times....

 Sine I have been in the City, one thing that caught my attention right away and I am still "digesting" it :) Is the "use" of the umbrellas...You see them at all times and any time of the year...
There are all colors, shapes and sizes!!!
We need them when the sun shines...Head Umbrellas

When it rains....

Yes even when it snows....

And have learned we need to carry it with us at all times....never know when we will need it...

God's Word is like the umbrella...I need to carry it with me at ALL times.....
I need it to ward of the "cold" ....the "winter" season in my life that I go through at times...
I need it to ward of the "hot" sun...the times I am going through the "fire" of God purifying me...
I need it through the "rain"..the times I fall down on my knees and "cry" out to God..whether it is for my life or for a friend that God has brought into my path...

I NEED to "carry" it in my heart...so when God prompts me to speak..I have the "tools" ...

So friend..Pick up "your umbrella " ..........
