Grace like Rain...

So as many of you have read.... I have a garden :)

I love my garden. My garden makes me happy. Every morning I have to water it before 10 am otherwise the sun will scorch it and my flowers will get sad (seriously!)

Anyways...

A couple of weeks ago I did not want to get out of bed and water my garden. I can't remember why (I must have gone to bed really late or something) but I just wanted to stay in bed and continue to sleep. Yet my conscience wouldn't allow it. Plus I kinda felt convicted since God had been the one to give me the garden... Finally I just sort of shouted "God I don't want to do it! It'll just be one day, I'll water them in the afternoon" and hunkered down in my bed and pull the covers over my head. I was trying to convince myself that it really wouldn't matter if I didn't water them just then.

Less than five minutes later I hear: drip.... drip.... drip.... drip, drip, drip, DRIP.

It had started to rain.

Lesson learned: God takes care of His creation.

Frankly I was speechless. I think I got out of bed in disbelief to look out the window. If I was to lazy or stubborn to get out of bed to water the plants, He would do it. He did not depend on me to make sure His creatures were well taken care of... this flowers that He loves so much, He would water them. At the same time I was stunned because I thought about my life. Sometimes I falter and think that my well being is on man's hands. He was saying: "You think I can't take care of you if men decide to be disobedient or lazy? I am the One that strengthens you."

It has pretty much rained everyday (specially in the morning) for like the past two weeks. I miss watering my plants :-/ but at the same time, every time it rains I chuckle and smile; I am reminded of His grace... His sovereign grace.
