Rain Drop Psalm


I Chronicles 13-16

A conundrum this morning… God’s wrath burns out at Uzza for touching the Ark and kills him.  David gets angry with God and I must confess every time I read this passage I do too.  I understand the reasons that man has come up with to explain it, but I don’t agree with the harshness of it.  Some honest and sincere questions never get answered.

Then the reading turns to a Psalm (song) of David where he praises the Lord for all His loving kindness that He continually blesses us with.  I love praise songs because there’s so much to praise Him for.  This morning it is raining during a very hot, dry spring.  Every green leaf, every green blade of grass must have regular water or it dies.  Can you imagine if man was in charge of watering all the green on earth?  Also, how wonderful it is that rain comes in drops?  Drops are the perfect size for something as heavy as water.  What if rain came in gallon size drops?  It wouldn’t be called “Showers of Blessings”, but “Bombings of Wrath.”  I love praise songs.

Thank You for the rain
You’re the most generous
         Being I know.
And thank You for the drops
         Whether in water or
In snow.

I love You!!!

  1. This is beautiful. I'm praising Him now for a week of generous showers on the dry, cracked earth of Kenya. His raindrops reach much further than the water I can carry to keep the flowers and grass beautiful. His work is perfect, and all His ways are just!
