I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees of the field their fruit.
Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land.
Tears ,a heavy heart ,body stricken with pain, rain drops what do these have in common. Everything they fall when there own structure can no longer support the weight. Every one somtime in their life has felt the effect of one of these things. When your hurt do you stand there in pain or do you fall to your knees crying tryting tio figure out why this is happening , why me God , why now , how do i fix this. Question that rattle the brain. As christians we know it will be a hard road ahead and it will not get any easier as we travel it. When your fell as God has given up on you we've felt before God has never given up on you he is the one caring you through the pain and strife. Being a christian is like a field there has to be some one working the field ans there needs to be seeds to grow. We can put the seeds in the nice little row and that all we have control over. God takes care of the rest. God sends the rain to grow the crops in the field that you've sown. How you worked it deppends on how it grows. When we fall to the ground in pain or in anger then blame God for our mistakes that it is all his fault that this is happening. We need to take a step back and see that we did not sown the field as God instructed us to do in the first place. We tried to do it our way and we know that out come bye bye. If you planted the field has God instructed you to ,you can see the beautiful crop that you are growing. All it needs is to be help by weeding(sin) and by asking God to send the rain.
4 he is like the light of morning at sunrise
on a cloudless morning,
like the brightness after rain
that brings the grass from the earth.'
If you pay attention to God there is always good after the bad. When fires brrak out and destroy a forest all we can see as humans ie=s the destruction that the fire has caused. God sees the even more beautiful land scape that will come after the fire. Remember a forest does not grow overnight and we will not see the true picture until Gos says it is done ,but even then we want to make changes to his creation and in doing so we have set the forest ablaze again because we think we know better than God hmm we are never close to Gods knoledge and understanding of or action. If you knew the consequnces before you did whatever is it worth it do do it in the first place even if you hurt yourself and your friends in the process?
Kings 8:35-36
35 "When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because your people have sinned against you, and when they pray toward this place and confess your name and turn from their sin because you have afflicted them, 36 then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel. Teach them the right way to live, and send rain on the land you gave your people for an inheritance.
As christians when well fall to our kness in pain or in repentance we need to see God and face what ever it is God has planned for you and your life. God never turned his back on you he just picked you up and put you on his shoulders and said"look this is what i have planned for you ,yes it will be a hard one ,but in the end you will be proud of the person that you have become and you will see it in the people that know you and loved youas i love you unto no end. As we fall with heavy hearts and broken bodies we need to repent and ask God for forgiveness and see that God never left you he was always at your side trying to guide you.
Final thought A ocean was not made over night it all started with a drop of rain. One sin can start somthing of many sizes we just need to know when to ask God for the Son he has sent for us the help stop the sea of pain before it begins because when it gets to big there is no longer help but to contain the sea so it does not start another sea of pain in someone else.
