At the beginning of the year the Lord gave me a verse for our family for 2017.
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
I wasn’t sure what He had in store, and now that I do I’m joyful. I’m joyful, but also nervous. Change is hard. This morning as I worshipped the Lord in song I closed my eyes, and in that moment I saw myself standing in the rain. It was pouring down on me, but interestingly enough the light that shone on the drops revealed them to be the color of gold. Then I felt the Lord impress this upon my heart, and maybe it will speak to you also.
I know you don’t like the rain, but keep in mind that it’s from me. Storms aren’t easy, but they bring with them new life.
I guess you could say I’m learning anew how to dance in the rain. Do I trust God?
Yes. That’s the only way some things are possible.
