The Morning after a Rain
I stepped out onto the back steps this morning.
Normally I just let the dog out and wait inside the house.
But I was drawn outside this morning.
I didn’t even realize I had been drawn outside until the dog was ready to go back inside.
I thought about why I had slipped out onto the back steps.
It was that renewed and fresh smell after a good rain.
It was the sense of calmness that permeated the cool fresh air.
It is as if you can smell the grass and flowers growing!
Everything around us screams out that there is a God! Amen?
That smell, that calmness brings a sense of peace and comfort that can not be explained. It has to be experienced.
I pray you experience it too.
The next time it rains, think about all the things that are growing around you because of the blessing of the rain.
Isaiah 55:10 MSG Just as rain and snow descend from the skies and don't go back until they've watered the earth, Doing their work of making things grow and blossom, producing seed for farmers and food for the hungry,
And as you ponder those words, remember that we can’t grow with being watered in HIS word either. Amen?
Isaiah 55:11 MSG So will the words that come out of my mouth not come back empty-handed. They'll do the work I sent them to do, they'll complete the assignment I gave them.
Praise the Lord Almighty.
Have a blessed day.
