Weather Faith
Have you ever tried to change the weather from rain or snow in to the pleasant warmth of sun and breeze? How’d that work out for you? I like to call it “Weather Faith”; changing the weather into just exactly what we desire, rather than what it is or will be. As I tell my family, stop worrying over the weather, we’ll take what we get, like it or not. Matthew 5:45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. If farming teaches anything, it teaches one simple rule, “Weather Faith”; you might as well be patient because God is in control of the weather. He is not a forecaster; He is the Master of it all. James 5:6-8 Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. You can till the soil, plant the seed, but cannot supply the weather to make it grow. Likewise, you can prepare a person to know Christ, but only God can change their heart that by His Grace they receive salvation, then by their yielding to God in faith, can they grow and produce fruit. Whatever you are longing to see come to fruition in your life or the lives of your family, try having a little “Weather Faith”; take it out of your hands and place it in the only one who can, the only one who is in total control of whatever Weather of life comes your way. Romans 8:27-29 And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. You are Chosen by God, have Weather Faith and allow God to do the rest! Yours in Christ, Rev. Jerry Schmid
