Rain, Rain Go Away?

This morning I woke up to clouds and rain... a-gain. Its been raining for days on end over here in Chicagoland. I would love to see a little sun and be able to feel a little warmth. It is supposed to be spring, right?

Walking in to work this morning, it was on the tip of my tongue to complain about all of this wet weather. Yet something stopped me. I thought about the One who's causing all the rain. There's a reason why He's keeping on the spout, who am I to question His direction?

The same can be said about our personal journeys through life. At times it may feel like our lives are continuously being stricken with rainclouds and storms. We may grow weary of our 'wet weather' and cry out to God for relief.

Our God never does anything on a whim. He doesn't do things 'just because' either. Our God is purposeful in His action, and works everything together for our ultimate good. We should trust that whatever winds He's allowing to blow in our lives will bring us to His purposed good place.

So, yes, you may be tired of putting on your rain boots and pulling out your umbrella. You may have grown tired of the gray skies and the rainy winds. You can still take comfort knowing that the One who is allowing those winds to blow also holds the power to make the sun shine and the skies clear. And this same God has your best interests at heart.

Be encouraged. It's all a part of His plan for your good.

Verse of the Day: Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out. For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof: Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly. Job 36:26-28
