Soft Rain

I woke this morning to the tink, tink, tinkling of raindrops against my windowpane. It wasn't a demanding, threatening rain...but instead, it was inviting, calming, and so good for my soul. "I needed that," I thought as my sweet Pit, Mr. Boss nudged me with his cold nose and smiley face.

I needed that calm reassurance (the one from above that I heard from the slow and steady growling of thunder in the distance.) It reminded me that today, like everyday, He is in control... and the world...my world (my country especially,) was going to be fine.

No matter what is to come, He will make a way and it will all work out according to His plan. I have come to believe and stand firm on, that He operates from a core of Love and He is concerned more for our character than our comfort. Having said that, there is comfort in knowing He will never abandon us and will provide our needs. He will give me strength.

He is enough. And I am confident His will prevails for His greater purpose. But for now, the rain soothes me...even if it is election day. If we need a spanking and need to be humbled, so be it. He will appoint that. If we need a time to prosper and glory in good, let it be! But I will give Him praise and rest in His peace. Either way, He will not have moved an inch in His Heavenly Kingdom, my eternal home. Since He will not be moved, so neither will I be.

Thank you, Lord for the soft rainy lessons you give to me.
