The Bible uses “rain” in many ways as God teaches us about His ways. This poem was blessed to receive many views in its original post on May, 2019. Enjoy!
Waking up to see another blessed, rainy day
Witnessing as God brings us grace this day
God creates rain to descend upon the earth
Bringing rain to produce yields from the land
The heavens’ water brings awesome worth
Allowing for existence by woman and man
Rain arrives by the word of our mighty God
Sending vital water to the crops and fields
God’s creation brings early rains with a nod
Providing late rains to fulfill a farmer’s yield
God brings rain in abundance with His hand
Opening the dry earth, salvation springs up
Skies raining down righteousness, is His plan
Showering our lives with a grace-filled cup
Rain nurtures spring’s new green, tender sprouts
Providing seed to the sower, bread for the table
Harvest arrives again on time by fall’s usual route
Filling grain bins as hardworking farmers feel able
God shines sun on both the Good and the Bad
Sending rain on the righteous and unrighteous
Rains from heaven fill hearts, never to be sad
Earmarking fruitful seasons for the righteous
Remember the incredibly prudent man
Constructing his house upon solid rock
Rains fell, floods came—over the land
Preserving a faith as steady as a rock
Yes! I hear the sound of the abundance of rain in this poem. Beautifully penned. And, Amen!😊

I like to imagine the rain as God’s replenishment. When we thirst, the feeling can become overwhelming. His refreshing rain can satisfy all living things.

Lisa, I appreciate your thoughts. Hmm, I better be on the lookout for those small elephants the next time we have a downpour here in Columbus.
