It is raining as I write this, however so lightly, but very welcome indeed. Our region remains so dry and that is why the need for moisture is a major prayer request. I often say, “I don’t know what we are going to do… but God does.” In situations such as severe drought, one is reminded of how finite we are. I will not say that God is intentionally using this dry spell only to draw us closer to Him; however, we can choose to allow these dire situations to set our intent upon Him ever so much greater. No doubt, you are experiencing certain trials and difficulties in your life as well. I am reminded of the words of the hymn, “Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Look full into His wonderful face… and the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.”
