The drought is almost over in south Texas. We have been inundated with rain to the point of flooding in some areas. It has been over twenty years since we have seen this much rain. Farmers have prayed, the Edwards Aquifer Authority prayed, greater San Antonio have all prayed for rain. We needed rain. After decades of sunbaked farmlands, brown lawns, water restrictions and burn bans, we were desperate for rain. Life is not the same when you are in a drought. Rain makes a difference.
2 Chronicles 6:26-2726
When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against You, when they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and turn from their sin because You afflict them, 27 then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on Your land which You have given to Your people as an inheritance.
Unconfessed sin is the leading cause of a drought filled life. We can spend our lives in a parched, cracked, dry existence when we refuse to acknowledge our disobedience and outright rebellion against God. We become like the walking dead, unproductive and useless. Rain will not come until we pray to the Father, confess our sin and turn form our wicked ways, then God will hear from heaven, forgive our sin and teach us the right way. Refreshing rain will pour down form heaven and bring healing. We can truly live again when the drought is no more. Let it Rain!!!
