Sunshine and Rain

Just as the sunshine and rain are part of the changing seasons of nature on the earth. They too are apart of the changing seasons in our spiritual dwelling.
The sunshine and rain work together bringing growth in the natural and spiritual. When there is too much rain, it drowns the crops, causing them to die.Psalm 147:8 "Who covers the heavens with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, Who makes grass to grow on the mountains."  In like manner when exposed to too much sun the crop becomes scorched, wither and die. Praise God! for his providing proper balance of both. In this we learn to appreciate the sunshine and rain.
If things always went well just as you planned for your life. You would more than likely become very comfortable and complacent with your situations, not having need or desire for anything more, giving no thought to God. As the saying goes "out of sight, out of mind." The truth is, God is never really out of sight. It is simply that you ignore his presence. Romans 1:20 & 21 "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21)because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened."
It is often life's storms with the pouring of rain which send you crying out and running to God for shelter and safety, just as a young child seeking the safety of it's parent(s)  Proverbs 18 :10 "The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe."   If not the rainy storms of life, then the extreme intense heat that sends you seeking refuge from  exhausting, extreme discomfort, which drains your life, leaving you dry, unproductive, and as a corpse. Matthews 13:6 "but when the sun was us they were scorched, and because they had not root they withered away."  Hopefully this will shift your perspective regarding the weather changes you endure. Leaving you to appreciate more the changing weather conditions, praising God for the sunshine and the rain in both natural and spiritual seasons.
