Rain

I often remind how simple it is to have God’s word, instructions, directions, peace, and joy at our fingertips. I am thankful for the internet; a few search words are typed, the send button is hit, and you are blessed with the needed scriptures. Let me suggest grabbing your Bible and reading the full content of said scripture within the beautiful pages of history.

I love the feel, smell, sense, and life within the pages of my Bibles. There is a reverence that whispers out when you open the pages of God.

So, on this wet Oregon morning, I thought we’d explore what God has to say about Rain. 🌂☔️

Hosea 6:3 ESV: “Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.”

Jeremiah 5:24 ESV: “They do not say in their hearts, ‘Let us fear the Lord our God, who gives the rain in its season, the autumn rain and the spring rain, and keeps for us the weeks appointed for the harvest.”

Isaiah 55:10 ESV “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater.”

Acts 14:17 ESV “Yet he did not leave himself without witness, for he did good by giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your heart with food and gladness.”

Psalm 137:8 ESV “He covers the heavens with clouds; he prepares rain for the earth; he makes grass grow on the hills.”

Genesis 7:12 ESV: “And the rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights.”

Hosea 10:12 ESV: “Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and rain righteousness upon you.”

Righteousness: acting according to divine or moral law; free from guilt or sin. Morally right or justifiable. Genuine, Excellent, Decent, Good, Honorable, True, Honest and Ethical. (Merriam~Webster.com)

I love that last verse: sow righteousness, reap love, break up your fallowed ground, your untouched, unsown ground chock-full of weeds; seek the Lord, and He will rain righteousness upon you!

I’d love to walk in a world of righteousness; how about you? Let it begin with us! 🥰

Be blessed, and may the Lord rain his love upon you today! 😌❤️
