Look Up and Feel the Rain...


 Job 36:24 “Remember to extol his work,
    of which men have sung.
25 All mankind has looked on it;
    man beholds it from afar.
26 Behold, God is great, and we know him not;
    the number of his years is unsearchable.
27 For he draws up the drops of water;
    they distill his mist in rain,
28 which the skies pour down
    and drop on mankind abundantly.
As we look at the book of Job as a whole, despite all the negativity in communication between Job and his friends, we find a lot of good truth about God: Who He is, what He is like, and all He has done.  After Elihu gives one last bashing on Job, he turns to God and His greatness. We often appreciate the beauty of His creation but forget His refreshing rain.  Depending on your location, you might today say: "Enough already! We're tired of the rain and flooding!" Or you might say: "What rain? We need more!" But let us all step back and see the system God has created to replenish the earth and marvel at what He has done.
