Where I live, it's raining out today. Rain can make the day seem so dreary and yet it's for our benefit that God sends us the rain.
"I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees of the field their fruit." Leviticus 26:4
Trials, hardships, tragedies, and disappointments may also make the day, the month or the season so dreary too, but it is for our benefit that God allows us to experience the "rain."
"Surely it was for my benefit that I suffered such anguish. In your love you kept me from the pit of destruction; you have put all my sins behind your back."
Isaiah 38:17
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance."
James 1:2-3
"In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed."
1 Peter 5:6-7
May you see the SUNSHINE in the midst of your RAIN today!
