For some reason yesterday's afternoon heat seemed to be bringing more complaints than usual. Yes, it was hot, but not unbearable. But for some reason almost everyone I spent time with mentioned how hot it was and they longed for relief from a cool day. Well, last night and powerfule thunderstorm rolled in and with it a cooling and cleansing rain poured down. The rain made small streams down the sides of roads that washed the streets. It also brought a coolness to this morning - I wonder how many people will today complain of how cool it was?????
Not me, I am enjoying the refreshing cool morning. And as I read the Word this morning, I was reminded that the rain, and the snow, comes from Heaven - so thank you Father. The Word, in Isaiah 55:10-11, states that the rain has its purposes to sustain life and it also states the Word is poured forth likewise and will accomplish what God wants it to. What a blessing!
My desire for today is that the Word, which I treasure in my heart, will be on my lips, being poured out by the leading of the Holy Spirit and I would know that the Lord is actively accomplishing His purposes and that He has blessed me with the opportunity to participate with Him. May the Lord lead me to bring a refreshing, renewing, encouraging, hope filled Word to those He has already planned to hear it from me. I pray that they would recieve it as we received the refreshing rain, may they recieve the Truth of His reign! May His Word continue to build me up and I pray You too are being touched by it now and throughout the day as well.
May You, Lord of all creation, receive all the Glory Lord and ever be praised! I thank You for Your promises and that You are able and will do what You say!
