The God of all Creation can certainly send a shower.
A few Sundays back, after church, and after lunch, and after I got my ducks in a row for Monday, I tiptoed out to my back porch. My hubby was out on a run and both of my teens were occupied. I had my laptop in hand and I had prayed that God would meet me at my keyboard, so I could write my next blog post.
The weather had turned warm and I was excited about a little peace and quiet out in nature. But, as soon as I stepped outside, my heart sank. My neighbor was burning leaves and the smell of smoke was strong. I knew it would give me a headache in no time.
I plopped down on the futon anyway, aggravated, as I began to type. It wasn’t long before a light rain began to fall. It didn’t rain for very long, but long enough to wet everything outside and to put the fire out.
It cleared out almost as quickly as it started and then the sun came back out. The smoke was completely gone and the air was clear.
I marveled at God’s timing. I’m not saying that He made it rain for me. Maybe He did and maybe He didn’t. The point is that I know and respect that He can make it rain. The Bible gives us proof of that. Check out Elijah’s story.
I didn’t pray for rain. I prayed for Him to meet me at my keyboard and to give me truth and inspiration to share with others. I prayed for Him to show His face. It rained and I was inspired.
The Bible tells us, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
I find that when I am trying to do His work, when I am trying to glorify Him with my life; He always makes a way. After all, I worship the Rainmaker.
A little shower reminded me. Perhaps you needed reminding too.
Have an awesome day!
