RainofGod   Mercy vs. Sacrifice!

Leviticus 26:3
"
If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees of the field their fruit."

The Desert                                                                           
The desert is a wasteland of broken dreams and disillusionment. It is the facade of charlatans and deceivers who masquerade in the regalia of prophets and priests, the corruption of kings. It is the hopelessness of the evening news and our powerless efforts to mend a self-destructive nature. It is the hypocrisy and emptiness that fills our lives with vacant ritual and unsatisfying irrelevance. It is our hollowness of mind when we close ourselves off from the truth.  How Will They Know?

Jesus Was NOT Political.      Jesus and SELF Esteem?       Why give?

The Rain
Storm clouds gather. From heaven they grow bloated with mercy and power. The rain brings the water. The water brings life to the dry and lifeless sands of the desert.

In a dry and thirsty land, without meaning or purpose, God sends His
rain - hope.
A False Messiah?

Zechariah 10:1
"Ask the LORD for rain in the springtime; it is the LORD who makes the storm clouds. He gives showers of rain to men, and plants of the field to everyone"

Job 36:27-33 "He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams; the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind. Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds, how he thunders from his pavilion? See how he scatters his lightning about him, bathing the depths of the sea. This is the way he governs the nations and provides food in abundance. He fills his hands with lightning and commands it to strike its mark. His thunder announces the coming storm; even the cattle make known its approach."

Isaiah 44:3-5 "For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants. They will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees by flowing streams. One will say, ‘I belong to the LORD’; another will call himself by the name of Jacob; still another will write on his hand, ‘The LORD’S,’ and will take the name Israel."

Deuteronomy 11:13-15 "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—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. I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied."

Job 5:10 "He bestows rain on the earth; he sends water upon the countryside."

Psalm 147:8 "He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills.

Rain! Even when I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Psalm 72:6
"He will be like rain falling on a mown field, like showers watering the earth."

Religion hates Jesus. Does that sound strange to you?

Isaiah 55:10-11 "As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."

Isaiah 45:8 "You heavens above, rain down righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness grow with it; I, the LORD, have created it"

Jude 1:12 "These men are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm—shepherds who feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted - twice dead."

Psalm 18:11-13 "He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him - the dark rain clouds of the sky. Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced, with hailstones and bolts of lightning. The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded."
