FAITH.The fields were parched and brown from lack of rain, and the crop lay wilting from thirst. People were anxious and irritable as they searched the sky for any sign of relief. Days turned into arid weeks. No rain came.
The ministers of the local churches called for an hour of prayer on the town square the following Saturday. They requested that everyone bring an object of faith for inspiration.
At high noon the appointed Saturday the townspeople turned out en masse, filling the square with anxious faces and hopeful hearts. The ministers were touched to see the variety of objects clutched in prayerful hands - holy books, crosses, etc.
When the hour ended, as if on magical command, a soft rain began to fall. Cheers swept the crowd as they held their treasured objects high in gratitude and praise. From the middle of the crowd, one faith symbol seemed to over-shadow all the others: A small nine-year-old child has brought an umbrella.
-Laverne W. Hall.this is tuesday's daily devotion that made me speechless. I dont think i have faith like that... not just believing that it will happen, but knowing that it will.
I think its so amazing how God always tells me before you do.
