Bring On The Rain

I found myself today rereading the story of Noah.

As I reflected on Noah's faith I thought about something I've never thought about before in all the times I've read that story.

Noah obeyed God - built the ark, got on the ark, rode out the storm, then waited some 150 days for the waters to descend, then began to rebuild his life. I don’t know how much time passed, but…I wonder what Noah thought the very next time it began to rain?

So often, even when God takes us through something, when life begins to look similar to the “storms” we’ve experienced…we wonder…is it beginning again?
Will it be as bad or maybe even worse?

We remember the 150 days, because the residual effects of the storm hang around long after the rains stop. The not knowing how long it would last…or if life will just be this way forever now… all because of rain. It’s starting again.

Today it was like God spoke to me and said...Brandon you can’t stop the rain, but you can decide how it will affect you.

Each time it rains in our lives it can bring new fears or grow new faith.
It’s going to rain…so when it does...let it feed new faith that will grow in your life and expand your influence for Christ!

Bring on the rain!
