RAIN

It is raining hard as I sit to write this article. Rain is good. It waters the lawn and all that grows in it. The rain of the Holy Spirit waters my soul also, and that is good.

Rain refreshes. Rain brings renewal. Both physical rain and spiritual rain from the Holy Spirit who renews a right spirit within me.

The water from the rain washes away filth and trash not only in the physical realm, but also in the spiritual realm by the washing of the water of the Word. Cleanse me, oh God, and renew a right spirit within me. [Ps. 51:2]

The cleansing rain of the Holy Spirit restores righteousness to our soul through the cleansing blood of Jesus.

May the water of God’s Word quench my thirsty soul forevermore. Fill me up, Lord, as I meditate upon your Word.
