Isn't rain a funny thing? And by funny, I mean miraculous. God provides life to everything simultaneously: this
is illustrated beautifully by rain providing nourishment to plant life, which dies without
it. But it's not buckets full at one time--not drowning. It's constrained. Just like Jesus is to us: He's
gentle as He sustains. But
He's not limited to one blade of grass at a time. He ordains every drop
that falls--hundreds of millions
at one time. He covers the earth with moisture, quenching it's thirst--it's need.
After the rain, every piece of life is marked with a silver glisten, sparkles
of dew that speak "God provided". The music of it
as it falls, the nutrition and quenching of thirst by it's coming, and the
beauty mark of having been here. Our God is alive, active, and faithful
to give life.
