Life Like Rain from Heaven

On one side of the narrow road I saw the natural scene of Eastern Washington’s semi-arid desert with its crusty dry earth and abundant sage brush. But on the other side of the road was a contrast so lavishly becoming it took my breath away.

The lush side of the road was under life changing miracle of waters by the workings of giant sprinklers spraying waters from the great Columbia River.

 “As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, an do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:10-11 NIV

 

It’s the obvious, of course, yet still amazing, how water is able to renew and refresh such an arid and dry land to thrive and bloom and produce crops for our nation.

Refreshment, vitality, nourishment and new life- that’s what Scripture’s promise carries forth to us. God’s Word gives us a spiritual strength we need every day to sustain and refresh us to thrive and grow in our faith, refresh our weary hearts and produce good fruit.

 Wherever we are in the world, what dry season we may be in, the Word of God will bring life like rain from heaven to our thirsty souls.
