Grass-growing Rain

Ps 72:6-7
He shall come down like rain upon the grass before mowing,
Like showers that water the earth.
In His days the righteous shall flourish,
And abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.
NKJV

This, one of few psalms written by Solomon, speaks of the kind of rain that causes the grass to flourish and grow so quickly that it immediately needs mowing. His righteousness brings deep fulfillment, satisfaction from hunger, rich verdant growth in our souls.
When the powers of evil have been bound, and the Lord reigns supreme upon the earth, in His days, there will be peace. And the whole world that is now groaning and waiting for that day will be satiated with His rain. There will be no more darkness, only His light, for He is the Son. He is Jehovah.

Come as a mighty river. Come by Your hand deliver.
Lord, let Your presence wash over me.
Come in Your awesome power.
Come in this very hour.
Lord, let Your presence wash over me.
There is a river flowing from the throne
It brings healing to the nations of the earth.
Everyone will live where the river flows.
Living Water quench this thirsting in my soul.

(Come, as a Mighty River)

Good Morning, Janeva!

Hope all is well with you. We could use some physical rain in the Dallas area! smile

Have your written how rain, and the floodwaters sweep away life? I would be interested. I know approximately two dozen Americans have lost their lives in flooding in the past week, due to the rain. Just a thought.
