Raining Down JOY

Now, if you're like me, you are JOYfully thanking the Lord for the rain today!  In South Georgia it's been weeks since we've seen even a sprinkle!  But God in His infinite wisdom decided to send the refreshing rain today.  And now we look forward to a cool, autumn weekend!

Just as the earth gets dry and needs replenishing, so do we spiritually, if we don't continually drink The Living Water!  Sometimes we go for days without reading from our Bible and studying His Word.  And how many times do we forget to go to the "Well" of prayer?  The Bible teaches that we should pray without ceasing!  Do you know what happens when we don't?  We become dehydrated.....spiritually.  That's detrimental to our health.

Our prayer today should be: "Lord, rain on me! Open the floodgates of heaven and rain your JOY on me!"

Here are beautiful lyrics to Michael W. Smith's song:

Let it rain, let it rain.
Open the floodgates of Heaven
Repeat
The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad
Let the distance shores rejoice
Clouds and thick darkness surround him
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne
A fire goes before him and consumes his foes on every side
His lightning lights up the world
The earth sees and trembles
The mountains melt like wax before the Lord
Before the Lord of all the earth
The Heavens proclaim His righteousness
And all peoples will see His Glory
We want to see Your Glory, God!
Do you want to see His Glory?
Lift your voices, lift your hands!
Let it rain, let it rain.
Open the floodgates of Heaven
