Fw: He reigns and rains

Job 36:27 For He draws up drops of water,

Which distill as rain from the mist

-

Rain starts as ocean that is heated by the sun and then converts to water vapor that rises until it is cooled to condense around tiny specks of dust to form clouds.  The clouds move in great air masses over thousands of miles and when the updrafts that carry the rain to the clouds are no longer strong enough to hold the moisture it falls as rain.  The water replenishes rivers and streams, goes to underground reservoirs and resides in the ground to feed all living things.  That same water eventually evaporates once again.  The water in the rain that is falling this morning has fallen countless times in the ultimate recycling activity.  And it is all driven by the Sun...the great source of light and heat.

-

This is the design of our Lord, whose light and warmth also continue to nourish and sustain us across all the generations.  His amazing design is for life that is sustained and life that is eternal.  And, like the water vapor that rises from the ocean, so shall we also rise to join the heavenly cloud as we are warmed in His light...Son-light.

Psalm 42:2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?
