Spring Rain

Isa 45:8
"Rain down, you heavens, from above,
And let the skies pour down righteousness;
Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation,
And let righteousness spring up together.
I, the LORD, have created it. NKJV

March, beginning of Spring, trees budding, daffodils ringing their base, and finally, the rain is coming. We are beginning to see green shoots on something besides the evergreens. It is thrilling to see the earth, once brown, tired, and parched, coming to life, being refreshed and renewed after a season of uncommon drought. And so is our spirit after times of battle, weary and tired, longing for the outpouring of the Spirit of God to bring that refreshing rain on our souls. He will, and He does—all in its season—when the time is right.


Lord, I hear of showers of blessing
Thou art scattering full and free;
Showers the thirsty land refreshing;
Let some drops now fall on me;
(Lord, I Hear of Showers of Blessing, Elizabeth Codner)
