Day 58
We are still in a hot, dry spell.
85 degrees at 5 a.m.
The thunder storms have all passed us by.
This is an inconvenience for me – I will have to water the garden – but for our farmers who have no irrigation systems it is a disaster – crops will die if they get no rain.
I pray for rain to fall on those fields.
I pray for the farm families depending on those crops for their income for the year.
Most of all I pray that they know You, Lord, and are trusting in You to provide a way – even if the rains do not come – even if the crops fail – You will provide for Your people.
Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.
Habakkuk 3: 17-18
