On Pouring Rain

Days are different for each one of us; sometimes you can get sunlight  and sometimes you can only have that pouring rain. I do not know what you get today but I do believe that you have experienced both. And to experience both seems to be normal. But how do you deal if years have been passed yet you only have those pouring rain?

For the past few years, dark clouds seem to be all over my life. And because of it, I begin to ask God the question that David always asked: Why? I begin to ask Him what are the wrong things that I have done to be on this place right now. I want to know so that I can ask for forgiveness for it and He will save me from where I am.  Because everything seems to be the opposite of what has been promised to me. And it is almost the same for a very long time. So, I cried and begin to question Him until I have stumbled upon His word today in Joshua 1:5 - “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.”

The very words that says He will never leave me nor forsake me had caught me. How come I have doubted Him?  Isn’t my God the same as the God of Moses who puts them in wilderness before they enter the promise land? He is the same God and He will never ever leave me just how He lead the Israelites in the promise land. In fact, He is doing the right thing in my life. It might be something different from what I imagine but the fact that He is in control and He is with me is something that I should be praised for. He might not be doing what I want, but He is doing what I need. He wants me to slow down and trust in Him no matter what.

I do not know when the rain will stop but there is one thing I am certain and that is the fact that I am not alone. My God is with me as He is with Moses. And this fact is something I should be reminded of every day. As much as I wanted to see the sunlight, I should not be in haste because God is the one who is leading me. He knows the way and the right time.

So, let’s back to the question on how to deal the pouring rain that is coming your way for a long time? I think you just have to remember that God is with you as the rain pours. His arms will surely comfort and protect you as you continue to cling upon Him. God did not promise you to see sunlight every moment of your life here on earth, but He promised you to be with you no matter what you have; for He will never leave you nor forsake you especially on a pouring rain.
