We have been in a severe drought in the deep South. Recently many churches around have been praying for rain.(please see my article at cyberwordoftruth on Rain) Our Georgia governor, Sonny Purdue, called a prayer meeting for rain, and was scorned by many in the news media, especially some of the weather people, who evidently believe that "mother nature" gives rain; or that it is purely a weather pattern thing. Well, I wasn't laughing, but praying with Sonny for rain, as many other Christians were. God has heard our prayers, and instead of being the driest year in Georgia history, the recent rain brought lakes up a little, and made 2007 the second or third driest year ever. We still need, and pray for, more rain as the new year begins, but rely on the Sovereign God of all the universe to give it to us. When I see the beautiful rain, I can't help but think of my dear wife's flowers when the raindrops are on them. This picture was taken earlier, before the drought, but always gives me hope that God has not forgotten His people, yes, praise His Name, "For He makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust" (Matthew 5:45).
