I love when it rains. I love the sound of the rain as it lands on the leaves in the woods that surround our house. I love that rain often changes plans for the day. I love to walk in the rain and smell the new freshness of land washed clean.
I awoke last night to some intense downpours of rain around 2:30 am. Hearing the rain hit our metal roof is music to my ears. As I went out on our porch and rocked and listened to the rain. I was reminded of God’s promise in Lamentations of newness in the morning.
“The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.” Lamentations 3:22-23
God’s mercies, His Mercy, begins afresh every morning. His Mercy is inexhaustible. You cannot use up that which is without end. God, his mercy, his love, his grace, his belief in you is without end. Whatever you are facing this day and this week, God is already there preparing the place, the situation and the outcome for you.
“He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’” Job 37:6
Seize this day with the confidence that comes from the love of the Father in Heaven and the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life. Choose today to be a mighty downpour of hope, life, truth and encouragement to those in your life. Like the refreshing of rain to the earth, your life is the refreshing spirit needed by so many that you will come in contact with today and this week. Be a shower to those dry and decaying. They need you.
You’ve got this.
