Is It Raining on You

In Matthew 5:45 it states that God sends rain on the just and unjust or the righteous and unrighteous or my take the Christians and the non-Christians. He sends rain on everyone.

 

So  it was raining a couple days ago and I was thinking as I saw people in a parking lot going to and from their cars to the Grocery store….

 

All of them had to walk in the rain. Whether they were Christians or Sinners, they had to walk in the rain. The rain fell on them all. The big difference I found out about these people is how they dealt with the rain.  

 

Some just got out of their vehicle and ran to the store thinking they would get less wet.

(Myth busters disproved that).

 

Some just walked and knew they were going to get wet and I don’t think cared and were apathetic about the whole thing and were not even going to make an attempt  to stay dry.. 

 

Then there were some people who prepared for the rain. They opened their doors up just enough to put out and open their umbrella. Then got out of the car with an umbrella over them..

 

Then there are those that have someone drive them up to the door and they hardly get wet at all.

 

Which one of these are you????

 

Because in your life it is going to rain and storm on you. I can guarantee it!!!!

 

In life we get rained and stormed on and sometimes it becomes a monsoon but whatever size the storm or the rain is we need to be prepared.

 

When it is raining on you and you know it is going to affect your life, do you put up your protection of God’s umbrella???

Do you even have that umbrella or is God not a part of your life so you are just running around getting wet and suffering for it??

 

Mark Twain once said, "The rain is famous for falling on the just and unjust alike, but if I had the management of such affairs, I would rain softly and sweetly on the just, but if I caught a sample of the unjust outdoors, I would drown him."

 

I think most of us can relate some days.

 

 It is a good thing God is God and not us.

 

Here’s my take on it: because God is merciful and gracious and abounding in steadfast love, we ourselves are assured of forgiveness; there can be redemption; and there are second chances.

 

Today is the day you can open the umbrella of God to protect you but you have to go to Him and ask him for it. You need to ask him into your life to take control.

 

Then you can quit tell God how big your Storm is and start telling your Storm how Big your God is!!!!!!

 

Just a thought!!!!!!!!
