between massive amounts of flooding (while the rest of us in the country are experiencing some serious drought issues), tornadoes, insanely fast gust of winds, and the sedentary nature of the rain, tropical storm debby has proven to be more than slightly problematic. the past couple of days have found debby just...sitting. a storm dumping more and more water from the heavens and absolutley drenching florida and southeast georgia with no hurry to move on to the atlantic. hard rain, wet earth, windy air.
i heard a song tonight...the lyrics hypnotized me as the woman sang, "we need Your rain, we need Your rain." oh God, how my spirit cried out those same words inside of me....i thought of how absolutley desperate i am for His rain, for a "tropical storm Holy Spirit" so to speak. i need to be drenched with His presence, my heart yearns to be flooded with His passion and His mercy so that i can spill it over onto others. just as tropical storm debby was stationary for a period of time, i found myself praying for His rain to sit stationary over me. i want to be damaged by the wind of His Spirit...the kind of damage that destroys sin, that shatters self-will and rebeliousness, the kind ofdevastating destruction that brings about the rebuilding of a heart.
what about you? are you in great need of His rain? is your spirit in drought, and your heart left thirsty and parched for something only our Abba Father can quench? do you need the kind of damage i wrote of, the kind of rebuilding that only His great love can accomplish? oh dear precious one, i do too. so sing with me, even right now..."we need Your rain, we need Your rain"
