RAIN WITHOUT CLOUDS ?


NEVER!

If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth – Ecclesiastes 11:3

Why do we dread the clouds that now darken our sky?  True, for a while they hide the sun, but the sun is not quenched; he will shine out again before long.  Meanwhile those black clouds are filled with rain, and the blacker they are, the more likely they are to yield plentiful showers.  How can we have rain without clouds?

Our troubles have always brought us blessings, and they will always will.  Our God may drench us with grief, but He will not drown us with wrath;

He will refresh us with mercy.  Let us not worry about the clouds, but sing because May flowers are brought to us through the April clouds and showers.

O Lord, the clouds are the dust of Your feet! 

How near You are in the cloudy and dark day!  Faith sees the clouds emptying themselves and making the little hills rejoice on every side.

Charles Spurgeon
