AUTUMN & SPRING RAINS

“Be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because he is faithful. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.”  Joel 2:23
       The Israel grain fields are largely dependent upon the rain that falls, for their fruitfulness.  No rain falls in the land from May to September. This is a message to all who place their trust in the Lord.  He is Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides. 
            Why do we struggle and strain to make things happen in our lives?  Has not the Lord promised to take care of us?  One of the main reasons believers should spend time reading scripture is so they can begin to understand the character of God.  We will never truly know Him as He may be known without doing that.  We will also never know all the promises that appear throughout scripture.  These promises are meant to encourage our sagging faith in times of trouble. 
            There is nothing we can do this side of heaven that will have any value spiritually speaking without consulting the word of God for guidance.  He is our rock and our redeemer.  He is the reason that our heart should sing.  He seeks to be worshipped and glorified.  We tend to get caught up in the mundane things of life rather than walk through life with joy in our hearts.  God will not ever fail us.  He will lift us out of the malaise we so often find ourselves and place us upon a rock.  He will provide for us all we need exactly when we need it most.  He is to be fully trusted because He has never failed to fulfill that which He has promised.  So look for the rains, for they shall refresh your soul. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
