miracle of rain

[Guest guest]

Sounds of Thunder over Kadugodi Whitefield made me wonder about Gods awesome

power and His miracles, a simple example is rain! If you said to someone: "My

God does great and incomprehensible things; He does wonders and we humans

hardly ever notice them we just take them as natural happenings," and if the

person responded, "Really? Like what?" would you say, "Rain"?

 

An email from a fellow devotee I received yesterday really puts few things in

right perspective, above all it illustrate us the inscrutable act of God and

His miracles. Lets take an example of RAIN

 

“ dear Bnamar, yes I’ve wondered about the beauty and simplicity of the rain and

its subtle charm to give us elation, “coincidentally” a pastor I know has

expressed & written excellent words about rain the God’s miracle.” “I’ve

subedited it a bit –“

“ Picture yourself as a farmer in the Near East, far from any lake or stream. A

few wells keep the family and animals supplied with water. But if the crops are

to grow and the family is to be fed from month to month, water has to come on

the fields from another source. From where? Well, the sky. The sky? Water will

come out of the clear blue sky? Well, not exactly. Water will have to be

carried in the sky from the Mediterranean Sea, over several hundred miles and

then be poured out from the sky onto the fields. Carried? How much does it

weigh? Well, if one inch of rain falls on one square mile of farmland during

the night, that would

be 27,878,400 cubic feet of water, which is 206,300,160 gallons, which is

1,650,501,280 pounds of water. That's heavy. So how does it get up in the sky

and stay up there if it's so heavy? Well, it gets up there by evaporation.

Really? That's a nice word. What's it mean? It means that the water sort of

stops being water for a while so it can go up and not down. I see. Then how

does it get down? Well, condensation happens. What's that? The water starts

becoming water again by gathering around little dust particles between .00001

and .0001 centimetres wide. That's small. What about the salt? Salt? Yes, the

Mediterranean Sea is salt water. That would kill the crops. What about the

salt? Well, the salt has to be taken out. Oh. So the sky picks up a billion

pounds of water from the sea and takes

out the salt and then carries it for three hundred miles and then dumps it on

the farm? Well it doesn't dump it. If it dumped a billion pounds of water on

the farm, the wheat would be crushed. So the sky dribbles the billion pounds

water down in little drops. And they have to be big enough to fall for one mile

or so without evaporating, and small enough to keep from crushing the wheat

stalks. How do all these microscopic specks of water that weigh a billion

pounds get heavy enough to fall (if that's the way to ask the question)? Well,

it's called coalescence. What's that? It means the specks of water start

bumping into each other and join up and get bigger. And when they are big

enough, they fall. Just like that? Well, not exactly, because they would just

bounce off each other instead of joining up, if there were no

electric field present. What? Never mind. Take my word for it.

 

I think, instead, I will just take Job's word (But as for me, I would seek God,

And I would place my cause before God; Who does great and unsearchable things,

Wonders without number. He gives rain on the earth, And sends water on the

fields. Job 5:8-10) for it. I still don't see why drops ever get to the ground,

because if they start falling as soon as they are heavier than air, they would

be too small not to evaporate on the way down, but if they wait to come down,

what holds them up till they are big enough not to evaporate? Yes, I am sure

there is a name for that too. But I am satisfied now that, by any name, this is

a great and unsearchable thing that God has done. I think I should be thankful -

lots more thankful than I am.

Grateful to God for the wonder of rain,.. (Pastor John) ”

 

Next time it rains near you, simply admire the awe-inspiring power of God and

benefit from His miracle!!

 

I LOVE YOU SAI
