I love new life that springs forth from rain. I took this picture as evidence to that fact that even in West Texas where we go through periods of hot, dry weather, new life is always bursting forth.
This type of dryness often makes me think of “spiritual dryness.” There are times when I become too focused on my own problems and cares and forget the charge that God gave me to do justice, and to love kindness and to walk humbly with Him.
I’m reminded in Isaiah 58:6-11 that by giving of my time, talents, and monetary or material gifts unselfishly that I, like the plants, will be spiritually refreshed and revived. Just like the rain – a little of any or all of these goes along way! God, in His word, has promised to be faithful. I want my heart and soul to be refreshed. How about you?
