A Little Bit Of Rain

Rain can be a depressing time for some people.  The darkness, the constant damp, and the overcast skies, keep their spirits dampened and oppressed.  There is another aspect of rain that is forgotten in this type of mood.  Rain nourishes and feeds the plants the ground, animals, and mankind.  Rain brings help to areas that have been in a season of drought and can bring hope to hurting hearts.

Which way do you see the rain?  Could you turn to look at it with a good heart?  Could you see that the end result of the rain will be life and abundance?  Don't let the negative aspects of the weather get you down.  There will always be problems while we live on this earth, but God wants us to look to Him for our supply.  He wants us to believe Him for our protection and help in times of need.

We need to remember that the Holy Spirit is also seen as a type of Raingiver.  The Giver of Healing Water.  The River of Life, the Well of Hope, The One Who Stirs the Air, The Wind of the Holy Spirit, the Comforter.  So many names we could give to our Helper.  Our Nourisher.  Do we see the rain of the spirit?  Do we let God take us through the situations we are in with thanksgiving and praise in our hearts, due to the knowledge of Him working through us with the Holy Spirits help?

Let us not give up hope, when our circumstances look dark, but let us look to the Source of our Supply.  The One Who makes a way where there seems to be no way.  He is the Strong Tower, our Shield, our Help in times of trouble.  Let us praise Him, and see the good in our situations, through His Eyes showing us the way.  Dear Ones, don't let the negative reports be the ones you believe.  Take hold of God's Hand, and let Him show you the way through the mist and the gray, to that nourishing place He wants you to be in.  God bless you all.
