It is raining and overcast...

A perfect setting for the closing days of the holiday vacation. The last portions of the holiday are more reminiscent than the first days. A rain day so that the children can enjoy the last day of their Christmas presents without homework and schedules demanding.
It is hard to imagine that last year this time we were in a drought and praying for rain. God is good! God is gracious and gave us the answer to our prayers and our grass is greener this year and the creeks are overflowing because God's provisions were greater than our sin. We had a season of drought and now it follows with a season of plenty of rain. Showers of blessing we have received. Mercydrops round us are falling, but for the showers we plead.
Here we are, walking on the streets of gold here in this country. Enjoying every good and precious provision of God. Moreso the provisions of Gods word are the streets of gold. We have generations of preserved meditations of great people sharing their observations in the scripture and those are the streets of gold. We use them not and rather walk in the mud than to use God's word to take captivity captive. Help us Lord and thank you for the streets of gold.
