Have You Ever Wondered?

Have you ever wondered strange things? Like tonite. I'm watching a rare desert drenching downpour of rain from my kitchen window. Toward the mountain there was clear blue sky, but directly over where I live the clouds were dark and the rain came down in buckets. The rain got me to wondering. I think it's amazing how clouds and conditions can create rain in the sky that falls, even when it pours so hard, that it falls in such a way that it doesn't hurt anyone. Sure, here in the desert we get street flooding. After all, our ground is dry, rock hard from lack of rain. So when it rains it doesn't immediately soak in, it floods. How masterful God is to create the clean soothing rainfall so that it comes to us in such a way that it isn't harmful. What if the rain came down in one large chunk, or cube, or a large heavy sheet? It would damage everything from buildings to cars to even hurt the people who had the misfortune to be out in it. How great our God is to send this soothing balm to us in drops, no matter what the size...so we can enjoy watching it fall from our kitchen windows and smell the sweet aftermath among the grasses and flowers!
