We have been having a real dry spell/heat wave here. For over 4 weeks, temperatures have soared into the 100's, reaching 107 degrees F last week. Then they came. The Nor'easter storms that normally bring relief to this area of India at this time of year. What refreshing rains, or "brishti", we have had! This morning at 4 a.m., I heard the thunder rolling that signalled the onset of a refreshing storm. Yes, it makes drying our laundry for the six of us very challenging! I'm thankful for ceiling fans!
Anyway, some time in worship last night and a little reflection today made me think of songs of the Lord relating to rain.
Send down the rain
Send down the rain
Let the shower of Your Spirit drench my soul.
O LORD, send the rain.
-Mr. Gabriel, my husband, wrote this years ago.
Then there's this one:
Let it rain! Let it rain!
Open the floodgates of heaven!
-Michael W. Smith
I still need the rain of God's Spirit in my soul today! Don't you?
