Right now, its cloudy; yesterday was scorching hot; last week we had downpour.
One night I was washing my car to prepare it for an occasion the next day. When I woke up, it had rained the whole night!
Another time, we had planned on going to the beach with the family. On the way there, the weather was perfect. Sunny, no clouds, PERFECT! Naturally, what happened? You guessed it, it rained the whole time we were there!
------
Why can't the weather just make up its mind so we can plan around it?
------
Here's my thoughts on this:
* Cloudy
- we can't really see what's going on in our world. we know God is there but we can't see Him, can't feel Him, don't know what He has in store for us; but we know He's there.
* Rainshowers
- a slight drizzle won't necessarily dampen your whole outlook in life, but it will dampen it a bit. rainshowers are either God's blessings or God's testings; we can't really tell which is which. we've got no problem with it though.
* Sunny
- ahhhh! this is what we pray ALL THE TIME! if you've ever been to prayer meetings, it seems everybody always prays for sunshine in their lives. and why not? can you blame them? I do that all the time.
* Thunderstorms - ranging from Signal #1 (trees slightly swaying) to Signal #5 (look for your car in your neighbor's garage)
- the Yin to Sunny's Yan. I don't believe I've ever heard anyone pray for thunderstorms. "Lord, pls send me trials & tribulations & testings & problems." uhmmm. nope, never heard that prayer yet. BUT.. this is probably the only time we will ever pray so i think God allows these in our lives for this purpose alone.
Weather Variables to consider:
* Wind Factor - Holy Spirit
* Temperature - Intimacy with God
* Humidity/Precipitation - our relationship with others
---------
one final thing, which would you prefer your life to be:
a. sunshine all the time - DESERT
OR
b. lots of sun, lots of rain, few thunderstorms - TROPIC PARADISE
I'm betting you chose letter "a".

What's your weather today?
