The rain falls on the good and the evil alike.
Rain can be a blessing to some and a burden to others.
In seasons of dryness, rain brings relief.
In seasons of abundance, too much rain can bring heartache.
Yet rain is always a sign of something deeper healing, provision, and restoration.
God doesn’t just send rain. He sends abundant rain.
Scripture speaks of the former and the latter rain the early rain for planting and the latter rain for harvest. When God sends the latter rain, it marks a season of overflow, restoration, and accelerated fruitfulness. It’s not only about recovering what was lost, but receiving double for the trouble endured Joel 2:25.
Psalm 147:8 says,
He covers the sky with clouds; He supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills.
Rain prepares the ground for fruitfulness. Hardened soil cannot grow anything, but rain softens the earth so it can receive seed and bring forth life.
In the same way, the Holy Spirit uses spiritual rain His presence, His Word, His love to soften our hearts, wash away bitterness, and prepare us for transformation.
Even trials can feel like storms, but often they carry the very water we need to grow.
Don’t despise your rainy days.
They are preparation for divine growth.
God is cultivating something in you, even when the sky is grey.
