Spring Rain

SPRING BRINGS THE RAIN

Rain is from Heaven, pure, clean of earthly contaminates. It is silky, pure, clean, refreshes everything, nourishes all living things with GOD’S BLESSINGS. It clears the air, washes away dirt, refreshes nature, birds get a bath, animals have drinking water, our drinking water is replenished, allows our food plants to grow and food grows for all the living creatures on the earth.

In the Beginning, God created Heaven and Earth and all the vegetation. At first, He didn’t create the rain because there was no man to till the soil. A fine mist came up from the earth to nourish everything green and growing. Then God created man to work the earth and God created the rain. \
Gen 2: 4=6

Another teaching from the Bible about rain was Gen 6:8

The earth became corrupt before God. God told Noah, who was a just and perfect man in his generation, to build an ark for he and his family and the animals God designated to be saved. God told Noah he would cause it to rain 40 days and 40 nights to destroy the earth and all living things God had made because it had become corrupt and He couldn’t look upon it anymore.

Noah did as God commanded and it rained 40 days and 40 nights. All creatures that were not on the ark died. God made a wind to pass over the earth and the water subsided. God blessed Noah and all that were on the ark and told them to be fruitful and multiply. God established his covenant with Noah and said never again shall all flesh to cut off by waters of a flood. Never again shall a flood destroy the earth.

God set his rainbow in the cloud and it shall be a sign of God’s Covenant between Him and the earth.

Read Deut 11:13-23 Joshua crossing the Jordan with the Israelites into the Promised Land.
“And it shall be that if you earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the Lord your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, then I will give you the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil. And I will send grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may eat and be filled. Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them.
Lest the Lord’s anger be aroused against you\ and He shut up the heavens so that there be no rain and the land yield no produce and you perish quickly from the good land which the Lord is giving you.
Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down and when you rise up.
And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates., that your days, and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, like the days of the heavens above the earth. For if you carefully keep all these commandments which I command you to do—to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, and to hold fast to Him, then the Lord will drive our all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess greater and mightier nations than yourselves.

Isaiah 41: 17

The poor and needy seek water, but there is none. Their tongues fail for thirst. I, the Lord, will hear them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.

Hard times come when we run out of what we need to live. We hunger, we thirst and so we cry to God. God does not promise to spare us these times, but God promises to sustain us in them.

God will rain down his blessings on us, if we will only trust and obey Him.
