Let God Rain Down on You

Hosea 10:12

¹² Sow righteousness for yourselves,
    reap the fruit of unfailing love,
and break up your unplowed ground;
    for it is time to seek the Lord,
until he comes
    and showers his righteousness on you.

Last night I noticed two of the plants I had recently planted were withering and the flowers were nonexistent. The lack of water to nourish them was absent and the hot sun was drying them up. I quickly poured a good amount of water on them and hoped that that would be enough to get them through the night. Then, today’s storm came in and filled the surrounding dry and hardened earth with well needed water and nourishment. The heavens had opened its gate to give new life and revive wilting life.

Tonight I came home and the two plants were upright with strong leaves and many blooms ready to bust out. Life renewed.

God rained down his loving nourishment this past Wednesday night and you could feel and see the reviving of some hungry souls.

There are times when our hearts become dry and hardened like the soil around a malnourished plant, with the sins we carry. If left unattended that hardness surrounding our hearts can take away everything that brings us life. Is your life ready for God to work in it? The  arid ground (sin) around your heart can be broken up by acknowledging your sins and receiving God’s rain of forgiveness and guidance.

You are beautiful. Let God rain down on you and give you his nourishment, so that you will blossom and bring joy to all the earth.
