and stay on the ground to water the earth.
They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for
the farmer and bread for the hungry.
It is the same with my word.
I send it out, and it always produces fruit.
It will accomplish all I want it to,
and it will prosper everywhere I send it.
You will live in joy and peace.
The mountains and hills will burst into song,
and the trees of the field will clap their hands!
Where once there were thorns, cypress trees will grow.
Where nettles grew, myrtles will sprout up.
These events will bring great honor to the Lord’s name;
they will be an everlasting sign of his power and love. –Isaiah 55:10-13
We have all experienced rainy or snowy days. Sometimes they bring great joy and other times we just can’t wait for the sun to come back out and warm up our hearts and our days. Yet God is in the rain and the snow, they are gifts to us that make our world green and beautiful. The rain and the snow are reminders of God’s faithfulness; with out them we would surely parish. Sometimes we look to see God in big things like getting an A on that big test, or getting into the college of our dreams, maybe it is trying to buy your first house, saving your marriage, or hoping for healing of a loved one; these things are important to God. God is faithful in all things, just as the rain makes the earth green so his word brings joy and peace everywhere he sends it. The next time you hear and feel the rain or snow remember, you are hearing and feeling the faithfulness of God.
