lightening for the rain

Today Georgia's Governor Sonny Perdue was mocked for praying to the God of the universe on the steps of the capitol. What a sad commentary on our times. It has become abhorant for Christians to gather in a public place to pray.

Our God, the one true God, answers prayer. He sends the rain and the hail and the thunder and the snow from His great storehouses in heaven. He alone is able to do this wondrous work.....no created being on this earth could accomplish such a feat. He alone will send the rain when He chooses to do so.

To bow our heads before God and humbly ask Him for rain is the right thing to do.....there is no other hope but God. Read Chapters 17 and 18 in the book of I Kings to see what happened when God's prophet Elijah prayed to God for rain.

God may answer these prayers now or He may choose not to for a while, but we can be sure He knows what He is doing. He is in control of everything.

Job 10:13 "When He utters His voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and He causes the clouds to ascend from the end of the earth; He makes lightening for the rain, and brings out the wind from His storehouses."

Do we realise what kind of God we serve???

David got rear-ended on his way to work today. A teenager in a huge SUV rammed right into the back of his well used and loved Jimmy, a gift from the Bookmans. Thankfully he was unhurt and the car is still driveable, but there will be hassels ahead.

Sometimes I think we take for granted God's protection as we drive the highways and byways of this land.

I'll be back to the ironing board now......I watch the TV show "House Hunters" when I can. I can get lots done in that 30 minutes.

Until tomorrow, Lord willing................C
