I have heard the phrase "When it rains, it pours" a countless number of times. I have even used this phrase. This phrase is usually shared from a negative perspective. But, think about it... rain helps things grow. Rain helps to produce and sustain life. I have prayed for God to let His presence "rain" on me.
Maybe that should be our prayer... for His presence and power to "rain" on us. This would bring excitement to the phrase "When it rains it pours."
Could you imagine if God's presence was in your life like a powerful rain storm? The pouring rain saturates the ground. Oh, that God's presence and power would SATURATE my life... helping to sustain me, and to help me grow in Him!
Lord, LET IT RAIN!

Yeah growing is always great, but with rain you may also get high powered winds and hail, which can really mess up your life. I wouldn't mind it though because the One who created the rain would end it and help clean up the mess afterward. Good thoughts pastor.
Great reply! Just remember that when God intervenes in your life (even through a storm): it is always for your benefit.
Thanks for the comment...
LET IT RAIN!
If God is the one sending the rain, I don't mind what kind of damage or growing it does. Just like Joseph when he was sold into salvery, one could easily see the bad in it, but God meant it for good, not just for him but his family too.
