It's a rainy, dreary day in Charleston, South Carolina. It is a good time to remind myself that the things going on outside of me do not have to impact my inner being. While the clouds have gathered and the rain drops fall, I am still enjoying my connection with God. A dark cloudy exterior does not in the least change the sunny disposition of my soul, unless I let it. In fact, I am reminded of the promise that God let's His rain fall on the just and the unjust. He waters the ground so that it can produce for us. He is so good that He does that for those that love Him and those that do not. My grass will be greener because of this rain. My wife's flowers will bloom better because of this rain. Fruits and vegetables may even get a little cheaper because of this rain. There is always an opportunity to allow our inner strength to overcome the outward situation. Rain is actually a good thing. When we believe in the providence of God the things rainy days represent are also for our good. Whether you are dealing with literal or symbolic rain, lean on the Holy Spirit for strength on the inside of you and overcome the rain.
Work It Out!
