The Sun is Always behind the Clouds

One morning as I was spending time alone in my rose garden with my heavenly Papa I looked up at a beautiful cloudless blue sky and wondered why life couldn’t always be this “perfect”? In answer to my questioning meditation Papa dropped this word into my heart.

Dear Child,

Yes, look at that sky! Today there is not a cloud in sight, but, child, without clouds there would be no rain to nourish and refresh your garden. Without clouds in your life, the sun cannot break through. Without trials there cannot be the sweet fragrance of victory in your life like the cool refreshing fragrance in your garden after the clouds burst to become rain to water and give life to the earth.

Remember the sun is always there behind the clouds, but the clouds are not always there. If you look up at a cloudy sky you will notice how the clouds are always moving away. Trials only last for a season but I am always there working in My sovereignty behind those trials that all things may work together for good.

Just as the clouds work for good and become refreshing rain, there is a divine purpose for every cloud in your life.

                                        Thus saith Papa

1Peter 4:19  Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

Romans 8:28  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Andre Crouch penned it so well in his song,

“ Through it all, I’ve learned to trust in Jesus, I’ve learned to trust in God.

For if I never had my problems, I would never know what faith in God could do.

I have learned that my trials only come to make me strong.”

Challenge: When we can’t see His Plan

                      Or we can’t feel His Hand

                      We know we can trust His Heart
