What’s Brewing – Let it Reign

It’s been a long, hot, dry summer. The kind of summer that causes Oregonians to do something they rarely think to do, like pray for rain. Because our skin is dry, the grass is brown, and our weather forecasters are getting bored with the same old same old; it was hot today and it’s going to get hotter tomorrow.

And it did, with record temperatures that held steady until we quit praying for relief and began praying for rescue as the nightly news brought us face to face with the people who lost their homes and the pictures of the three firefighters who lost their lives.

Then last night I woke up to the sound of rain thundering against the parched earth like heavy drops of answered prayer. He heard, He remembered, He answered.

Draughts have a way of reminding us of what we’re missing. Of what we can’t live without. Of how powerless we are make them stop. And how completely dependent we are on the promises of the One who rules over earth, and fire, and rain.

But that all changed last night when the skies broke loose, the rain poured down, and the promises of God met us in the morning.

From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. John 1:16 NLT

And I will send showers, showers of blessings, which will come just when they are needed. Ezekiel 34:26 (NLT)

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23ESV

Let it reign Lord

Let it rain

Love and joy, Sandy
