SEASONAL RAINS
Today's reading: Leviticus 25-27

"If you keep my laws and are careful to obey my commands, I will send the seasonal rains. The land will then yield its crops, and the trees will produce their fruit." Leviticus 26:3-4 NLT

I stood for the longest time at my full view storm door watching the rain yesterday.

A mist. Then a shower. A downpour. Then a steady drenching rain for the majority of the afternoon.

It completely changed the colors of the landscape.

What had begun drying out, browning and losing life, was washed clean, rejuvenated, revived.

The corn field across from our house changed color while I watched. It had begun to take on the color of tired, worn out August, but then changed back to the dark green of growth, of hope, of a desire to continue producing fruit.

The seasonal rains. The promise of God. The blessing of a Provider.

And then to read this verse this morning?

What a gift from God!
