I love rain. I love how it slows things down. When it rains I am reminded to take a breath and rest in truth. I love how rain is necessary in our life. Without rain everything would die, nothing would be beautiful. All of God’s creation needs rain. Even us, humans. If we want to bear fruit as believers we need to water the soil. We need to sit, and soak up the truth of the word. We must let God reign (rain) in our life. Hosea 10:12 “For it is time to seek the Lord, that he may come and rain righteousness upon you.” How do we become like Christ? Seek him and give him control of our lives. Allow him to reign in our soul (soil). This isn’t easy or comfortable. We must open up our cracked and fruitless soil to Him even if it hurts. The Lord never said this life would be easy but with him it WILL be worth it. He will restore all of our brokenness with righteousness. He will make us new. He will make us beautiful creations. Like plants we need rain to grow—we must allow God to reign in our lives for us to grow spiritually and to bear fruit. Most people do not love rain because it is dark, gloomy, and can change our plans. Sometimes I struggle with God reigning in my life because he changes my plans and I have to trust him rather than have control. God reigning in our life may not always be comfortable but we must remeber he has an outcome better than we could ever ask for or imagined. Ephesians 3:20 “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us..” This verse reminds us he has great plans for us, but we have to let reign (rain) in our soil (soul) and life. Crops need rain to become what it has been created to be. Remember, there is always sun after the rain.... Closer- Lifepoint Worship
