Joel 2:23
Be glad, O people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains in righteousness. He sends abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before. (NIV)
Our Nation is experiencing drought conditions, over a large area of the continent. Some talk about global warming, and the problems of greenhouse gas emissions, which will continue to inflict pain on the natural processes of nature, and continue to produce climate change with a negative effect.
There are areas that have coped with a lot over the last few months. Firstly the harshness of the drought next was savage bush fires, then floods. All in the same area
Thinking about the autumn rains, I am reminded that they are refreshing after the hot dry summer, and also the beginning of the restoration of our reservoir resources for the next hot dry period. This applies to the natural world, and also our spiritual life, where the surrounding elements can be harsh.
Lord, help us to receive the refreshment our spirit, soul, and body, require. Amen.
