New Reign...

Last night a huge thunderstorm blew through, the first significant rainfall we’ve gotten in months, perhaps a year? It’s been so long that when the rain began, I saw people stepping outside gawking at it. Staring at something they knew, but hadn’t seen in so long.

Oh that a new Reign might fall on us...

That the Spirit might come down on us so much, that we too might stand and look in amazement. Something we know, but haven’t seen in so long.

It's okay to let the Lord have complete control. I'm reminded of the words to the old hymn "No, Not One."

There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus, no, not one! no, not one!

None else could heal all your soul’s diseases, no, not one! no, not one!

Jesus knows all about our struggles; He will guide till the day is done.

There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus, no, not one! no, not one!

¹³ I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. ¹⁴ Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.   Psalm 27:13–14
