Everything Changes

The more messed up this world gets, the more God makes sense.

Rain

"He sends rain on the righteous..." [Matthew 5:45]

We can't avoid rain. It rains on everyone. And for the most part rain is good - we need rain in our lives because without it nothing can grow. Well, perhaps cactus can, but you know what I mean.

I don't own a house but if I did I'd want it to have a huge porch so I could sit and watch the rain. As a kid I'd run across the street and sit on my cousin's porch to watch storms pass through. Granted, our parents didn't like this much for fear that a lightning bolt would obliterate us all!

Last week my dad passed away peacefully at the age of 83. And while the sun shone brightly the day we laid him to rest I experienced some stressful stormy driving conditions on the journey back to Canada. The rain came down so hard on my second travel day that I had to pull over to the side of the road to wait out the storm.

Rain is a good thing. But rain can also be disruptive - and no one is exempt from the storms of life. They WILL come. And we WILL have to endure them. But Jesus goes through the storm with us, and He calms "the wind and the waves." [Matthew 8:23-27]

Today, let "the peace of Christ rule in your hearts" [Colossians 3:15] regardless of the "weather" conditions in your life.
