An early morning devotional led me to the book of Deuteronomy where I rested with Jesus in chapter 11. It was vs 13-15 that stopped my eyes from moving on, and my mind to consider His instructions.
So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today – to love the LORD your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul – then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and springs rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and olive oil. I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.
As I gazed out the window in my temporary home I couldn’t help but consider a few words. Obey. Love. Serve. I thought about recent weather conditions, specifically the fires in California, and wondered if obedience to God, loving God, and serving others would have led Him to send rain sooner.
