Do we ever think...

A thought: Should they have been given wills of their own, rain drops could choose where and when they would like to fall to nourish the earth and seas below.

The logical thought pattern could go as follows: "Better to go where I can be of most use." But only the deserts would receive the rain, in this way.

Rather, they might think: "Better fall where I am most comfortable." Only the quietest and most untouched glacial lakes should receive replenishing.

Or they could choose: "I shall only fall where there are those who are most worthy of my benefit and life-giving provision."

Matthew 5:45b
He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

It is fitting that our Lord sends rain to those places where He sees fit, since it is he that sustains creation as He sees fit.

A confession: If I seem angry, put off, or frustrated in any of my previous posts, I apologize. Sincerely, I do. Luther was said to have been a very angry man as well. Justified zeal in defense of truth is called for, I believe, but I do not wish to lash out in anger. Tonight, I was once again convicted of my tendency toward rash criticism, which stems ultimately from pride and not from rightful regression to a biblical defense of truth. I confess, and I repent. I am yet a work in progress as well.

Mere man am I, and I must not forget it. None of us should.

Mere men are we, Sovereign God is He.
He will judge and bless that which he pleases,
and before Him I stand, not even the least of these.
Least of all, that I should judge with pride, my thesis.

God go with each of you.

Dead, once. Alive as He Pleases. Dead, All of us. Alive once more.
Ded - al - us
