Here comes the sun

It seems like it has been raining for days on end.

Spiritually, I think we all have rainy days, too.

Ever notice there are seasons of just blah! Nothing seems to go right and we have to put on extra gear to protect ourselves from the onslaught of yuckiness coming at us.

I think we get spiritually drenched sometimes. We become weighted down and soaking wet and miserable. We move a little slower and feel a little colder.

It is during those times, that we need to seek God to warm us and protect us. God is so faithful to keep us.

And then, one day, we wake up and the sky is different color.

The grays turn a brilliant shade of blue and the clouds alight with golds and reds and pinks.

The sun always returns, doesn’t it? And oh how wonderful it is to have a season of sun after a season of rain!

Psalm 113:3 says: “From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised.”

Let us praise God on this good day and always – rain or shine…
