It's a cozy, rainy day here in the great city of Abilene. The city that must not believe in rain because it always floods due to the lack of draining systems. haha
I like the rain. I like to stomp through the puddles in my awesome whale rain boots. But wind + rain= no bueno. Some people might find rainy days boring or depressing, but I find them comforting. When it physically rains it makes me think about Jesus reigning. :) My friend's mom has a cool umbrella that says "Jesus reigns," or something along those lines. That's what I think about every time it rains. In my Bible class we've been studying the book of Revelation- which has been so legit! The main point of Revelation is not what the end of the world will be like, although that is clearly discussed in the book. The point of Revelation is to encourage followers of Christ to live in a way like you know that Jesus reigns, and that God's team wins in the end. :) Urgency is a theme of the book. Urgency of living each day like you know that Jesus could come back at any time. Well, urgency "without being an idiot or irresponsible"- as my professor Randy Harris puts it. So to me, the rain is a reminder of who really reigns over the world in the end- Jesus Christ. :) While circumstances and things in the physical realm may show signs opposite of that truth, God's got control- full and complete control. That is what comforts my heart. Rain is beautiful. God is beautiful. God knows and claims the outcome. Do you? It is written. I want to live my life to reflect that I know the outcome. Circumstances and this world might have less power over our lives if all of the followers of Christ claimed the victory and power that Jesus fully claims and possesses.
Just my thoughts.
Live it like you believe & know it to be true.
Love y'allllll :)
He reigns,
Meagan Kate :)
