The sound of a soft steady rain, especially on a tin roof, is something almost everyone can associate with. The moisture from an oncoming rain, especially on a hot summer day, is commonly welcomed by everyone. A rainy day brings peace with tranquility and is a natural sleep aid, but it also only takes a small amount of rain to enliven nature. Within hours, grass becomes higher, leaves become brighter, small buds break open to become gorgeous sweet smelling blooms. Birds are chirpier and frogs become more plentiful. All these blessings are made possible by the downpour of rain.
Rain is used in both a negative and positive way but more pleasant to discuss in a constructive and productive way. In scripture, rain is often used as a representation of abundance. God floods the soul with grace and mercy, allowing His attributes to be revealed. Nature doesn’t know how to reject the abundance of God, but humanity is different. People choose whether or not to let the abundance of ‘rain’ soak in, or because of hardness of heart, let it stand until it evaporates, being useful for nothing.
When ‘rain’ is consumed into the heart, good spiritual herbs and fruit spring forth from it. No matter how weeded over a flower bed is, when a bulb or root receives rain in its due time, it will work it’s way out between the weeds and grow. They will bloom and stay healthy the way they were designed. When a soul receives the Living Water, which is Jesus, from the eternal fountain of God, the purpose of life is revealed, transformation begins, and growth naturally happens.
May your week be filled with an abundance of His blessings, peace, joy, tranquility, and enlightenment.
