Deuteronomy 11:13-15 (New International Version)
13. 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- 14. then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and oil. 15, I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.
I guess this is what we are having "autumn rains", it seems a little early but it is September. I love this scripture, it has such wonderful promises. Of course with a promise there is always obedience in doing Gods will. Here we are told to faithfully obey our Lord, to love Him and to serve Him. Because of all that He has done for us, this should not be hard. I am so humbled to realize He did this all for you and me. He makes provision for us every day, and even for our animals. I believe it is a good thing every once in a while just to stop and open our heart and mind and let God show us His wonders. We really need to understand and then to be so thankful for His goodness and mercy to us. Enjoy the rain and remember the promises!
