Early last night we were surprised by a wonderful soaking
rain at our house that lasted several hours. After dinner my
husband and I simply sat outside for a couple of hours taking in the smells and
sounds of a steady and refreshing rainfall. How thankful I am to God for his grace
and goodness in providing this bit of relief for the parched ground and thirsty
plants! I ask Him daily to provide large measures of unexpected
rain all over Texas in His mercy, filling our drying lakes despite forecasts of continued
drought in the coming months.
Our souls cry out for drink, much as the dry soil cries out
for water. How can we seek and enjoy a soaking spiritual rain in the midst of
busy schedules that zap the life out of our souls--a drought of the spirit?
