We Need the Sun AND the Rain!

Rain: to fall as or kike ran, to pour down.
Sun: the shining celestial body around which the earth and other planets revolve and from which they receive light and heat.

God is so awesome, He knows when to allow the Sun to shine and when we need the Rain to fall in our natural lives, as well as our spiritual lives. Our God is truly wonderful, He gives us joy and pain; hot and cold; sunshine and rain. He's such a balanced God that He knows when we need each one and exactly how much of each we need in that moment. He gives us one, for example pain, in order for us to appreciated the other - joy.

We don't always like it, but consider this - how could we appreciate the Sun if we never experienced the Rain? If we only ever experienced the Sun our grass, flowers and gardens would burn up, but God in all His mercy allows the Rain to fall, so those very things could grow. He also does this in our personal life. If I never experienced sickness, then I wouldn't know that God is a healer. If I were never broke, I wouldn't know that God is a provider. The test and trails He brings to us are to teach us about ourselves and our inner workings. We will either be thankful for our situations or we will choose to murmur and complain.

We simply need to trust the Lord and know that He won't give us more Rain or Sunshine than we need. The Lord allows things to happen in our lives because He has something far more important for us to learn. We can choose to get bitter and not profit from it because of our attitude, but trust me, you can be assured that it’s going to come back around. It's not going to always Rain and the Sun is not going to always shine. We must make up our mind to have an attitude of gratitude for whatever God allows to cross our paths.

Just remember - the Sun is shining somewhere even when it rains, so rest assured the Sun will come back out in your life again - no matter how bleak the outlook might be. Trust and believe, my friends. As Psalm 9:10 tells us, “And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.”

‭‭With all that said, let the church say Amen... and AMEN!
