Getting Ready For Rain...

You might think this is a funny title given that our current weather pattern has been rain, rain, and more rain for the better part of a month. Of course we're ready for rain...!

But actually the phrase 'Getting ready for rain..." in this case refers to a scene in the movie 'Facing the Giants'. In this scene Coach Taylor is being discipled by an elder. The elder tells him the story of two farmers. Both farmers desperately needed rain for their crops. Both of them prayed for rain. But only one of them actually went out and prepared his fields for planting. So, which one trusted and had greater faith in the Lord...?

Well, the one who actually prepared his field to receive rain...

God wants to bless us and meet our needs. But we have a role in all this, too. We have to do our part... We've got to get ready for Rain....!
