The Rainmaker

Leviticus 26

 If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments so as to carry them out,  then I shall give you rains in their season, so that the land will yield its produce and the trees of the field will bear their fruit.

Notice the phrase “rains in their season.” 

God knows when to send the rain. He’s aware of the season of drought, he knows about the pests in the garden, and he knows when the sun has been too hot and things are withering and dying.

And then…the rains come.

The rains that He sends are not rains of destruction, but rather rains in right timing so that fruit grows.  They are soaking rains, rains that wash away debris, rains that nourish and heal.

We live in a world that doesn’t follow and keep His commandments; therefore, we experience flooding, and drought that kills.  We see these kinds of disasters frequently on the news.

But when we walk with Him, the rains come at the right time, the drought we go through is only there to make us thirsty for him, and when the sun gets too hot it’s only to make us run to him for refuge. His rains come and soak us, refresh us, satisfy us,  and produce fruit.

We can trust our God – the perfect gardener of our souls.
