Rain. Seems like one of those loaded words, doesn't it? Rain is one of those neutral things that we make into a connotative word. No longer is rain a part of the intelligent design of the water cycle by the One true God. Instead, we see rain as a disappointment. "It ruined my day at the pool." "It got my new shoes wet."
I think this is how we view rain. Though rain is so good for plants and other organisms, it seems to be a negative thing to us.
Sounds like life sometimes, right? When something doesn't go our way or lifeis tough, it's so easy for us to focus on the problem rather than seeing the bigger picture.
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?... And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?" (Matthew 6:25, 27 ESV)
It's often easier said than done, but when we ask The Lord for strength and a heart of perseverance and trust in His plan, He will give it to us!
So next time you see rain that seems so dreary, remember that it makes the grass green. And remember hard days are for a purpose too - to make you rely on Him who created you.
