Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain; so the Lord shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field. (Zech: 10:1).
Rain is an intentional element to cater and refresh the content of the Earth. It is the essential fluid (liquid) that makes water circulation complete and Life possible on the Earth. Water is the primary and crucial test for life in any terrain. The vast and quest in cosmic exploration is essentially test for water to validate life. If Water is present then life is possible.
The unique features of Water are astounding and a credit to the ubiquitous intelligence that pervades the creations of God. Though colorless, odorless, and without taste, Water compasses and refreshes our being and environment and makes continuing existence possible. Water is intentional and essential for Life and rain is an integral phase that makes Water recurrent. We honor God for His ingenuity.
Now about rain; the Bible says something that must elicit our interest, “…rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater” (Isaiah 55:10).This verse provides prognostic effect of Rain and its essence about which we must pause and gain truth.
The product and the serial effect of Rain are miraculous;… give seed to the sower and bread to the eater. This is simply astounding. God be thanked for Rain, otherwise there will be neither seed nor bread for man. We need to think here; God had a purpose for Rain and its essence is far-reaching in its effect. The earth is en-graced by Rain. Rain gives grace, enablement and empowerment to the Earth; … maketh it bring forth and bud.
Consider (again) how the Bible describes the effect of Rain on our Ecosystem; it… watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater. Akin to the copulation that brings forth babies in animals, there is a miraculous interaction (copulation) between the atmosphere and the earth (soil) that I;, being “inseminated” with the rain; the earth produces, otherwise the earth is naught and barren. How necessary, cogent, urgent and exigent for us to understand the need and time for necessary “Rain”, identify its penitent contribution and input on our lives and endeavor. Fertilization is a vital part of production, ideas, theories, earth, plants and animals are all in some way or the other “rained” upon to produce and bring forth after their respective other and type. Our ideas, families, careers, etc. need to be “Rain-ed” upon to bring forth seed and bread implying the sustenance and prosperity much needed.
God said, “Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of latter rain; so the Lord shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field. (Zech 10:1) and if a man should cast seed into the ground; and should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of itself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. (Mark 4:26-29 KJV)
“Ask ye the Lord for rain; it is the latter rain”
I pray that the Holy Spirit will illuminate our lives with the Light of the Scriptures in Jesus Name
