It’s rained here for the past several days. There were times when, in the middle of the day, it was raining so hard that it was dark outside. Rain is often a metaphor in our lives and even in our spiritual walk. Rain can signify blessings. It can signify washing away. It can also signify trials and storms. I created this interlude as part of a “Personal Disciplines Kickstart” program for my church. It’s a short, e-mail based program that sends out short devotional videos to encourage us in personal disciplines like Bible study, prayer, worship, and meditation. I hope as you listen you can find time to think about the rain – whether it’s a much-needed answer to prayer in your life or signs of storms on the horizon. Take it in, breathe it in, and find peace.
