As I was coming home this morning from my workout, I noticed the the storm clouds rolling in. In the distance, the ashen grey sky was becoming more pervasive. The wind was totally undressing the trees and their leaves descended in a final arabesque. I looked at the sky and noticed that the dark clouds were not totally successful in their mission, because, in the center, the sun refused to surrender to the cloud cover. Its rays stretched through the clouds, making the center ones luminescent. It seemed as if my home, in the distance, was the center of the pyramid of rays.
Of course I thought of our walk with our Father. All too often we EXPECT a ray of hope in the midst of an impending storm of trouble in our lives . . . and we want that ray to fall upon the things that matter to us. Sometimes we will see just the storm clouds and never see the ray. . . that is not to say that it is not there; sometimes we will just not see it. I believe Abba wants us to know that as clearly as the sun was there behind the clouds, He is there. It will be by faith, more often than not, that we will see Him.
Abba, your word says, “When the son of man comes, will he find faithfulness in the earth?” Let it be our faith that you find, Abba, despite the rain clouds. Amen.
