Today’s Thought “Dark and Dismal” G. Ward

“So that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.” Matthew 5:45

Rain was equated with blessings from heaven because it enabled economic prosperity (as many were involved in agricultural pursuits). Our diversity (vocationally) abhors a rainy day, more contemplating how it hinders both travel and mindful vigor. Ultimately, selfish transcendence

of insistence that demands a tropical seventy-seven degree with no clouds in the sky and bright sunshine, precludes that when it’s not given our spirits pervade a downcast positioning. Moreover, personal responsibility in observing the way of the Master in seeing that others regard the day’s opportunity to have their every burden lifted by HIM who is truly proven (promoting peace, Mt.11:28-30), enables vulnerability to yesterday’s woes (cf. Ps.118:24). Extend an umbrella unto another saturated in despair, allowing their new journey to become an appreciated reckoning (of spiritual proportion), no matter the weather.

Happy Monday!
