rain

I was sitting at home enjoying an amazing conversation with my mom when she told me this incredible story.

There was this missionary lady who was somewhere in India with a tribe for quite sometime. That area was experiencing a tremendous drought, so bad in which people were starting to grow very ill and even die. they had been without rain for 8 months. the chief of the tribe called a meeting and in which to ask for rain from their god (some sort of pole). at that meeting it was being discussed how this god was not giving them rain, and they were getting very frustrated. the missionary was present and just said out loud without thinking, "My God will give you rain" the interpreter heard her and relayed it to the cheif. the chief replied, "what did she say?" and she repeated, "My God will give you rain." the cheif then went on to say, "If your God gives us rain i will become a believer of your God." the lady then immediately started getting attacked with doubt from satan. -- what have i just said? i just told them that, how would God respond, i dont know even if God will give rain! She then realized that she knew those words, "My God will give you rain" were placed in her mouth from God and stopped doubting Him and His power.
The next day, they saw dark clouds in the distance. It started to rain. It rained for 5 days straight. and because of that- everyone in that tribe became a believer.

God's power can be revealed in so many kinds of ways. She never said when God would give them rain, but it just happened to be God's timing to bring it the day after.

God's ways are so much higher than ours and when we just believe and not doubt what He can do, He will reveal Himself to us.

believe.wait.rejoice.
