Rains

December 23, 2007


There are times when I wish the Lord would return quickly. Days when nothing seems to go right. Weeks when you can not make ends meet. The Bible tells us that the time is coming soon, we just do not know.

James 5:7 ALT
(7) Therefore, wait patiently, brothers [and sisters], until the Arrival of the Lord. Look! The farmer awaits the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it, until it receives [the] early and latter [or, autumn and spring] rain.


There will be signs that it is coming. We have to be patient and wait for it. Just as the farmer as to await the rains that take care of his crops, so we have to be out and doing what God wants us to be doing.
