It’s pouring
Throwing it down
Chucking it down
Raining so hard it’s bouncing of the pavement
Splashing off cars
A deluge
And there you are caught out in it, walking home
Picture: - http://www.languedoc-roussillon.eu.com/Rain.html
So what do you do?
Are you a dash for the umbrella, type?
Or head for the nearest doorway or alleyway to take shelter and wait for it to pass.
Or do you take your jacket, pull it awkwardly over your head and run like an ostrich.
Perhaps you find the nearest piece of paper and vainly attempt to protect your head
You may just zip up your jacket and keep walking
Put up your hood and carry on regardless
And if you’re like my son,
Just enjoy every minute of getting wet.
My daughter Dani and I were caught in the rain and we just kept on walking,
Knowing that the car was parked just around the corner.
We got wet
But not that much
Just enough to make us smile,
And laugh
Rain can be fun
But, it can be very irritating.
Different circumstance cause different reactions
For some it is the answer to prayer, for some it’s the reason to pray.
For others it’s a matter of life, for others a matter of survival
But for most of us
In the mundane, normality of every day life
It’s a matter of getting wet
Or staying dry.
Taking precautions if we know it’s going to rain
Take a look at the sky and see the clouds forming
Guarding ourselves against trouble
Everyday we can keep our hearts
By being drenched in a deluge of God’s word,
Mediating on all His grace has given us
And letting his Holy Spirit have free flow in our lives.
God has made it all available for us
Let’s go out in His rain and get soaked in His word.
