Do you look at some person now and then who never seems to give a thought to the Lord, or where his living comes from?
Take the farmer. He comes in all kinds, from the one who grumbles til it rains, then grumbles til it stops, never giving thanks
to his Maker for the good things he enjoys.
Here’s one of those instances where instead of finding fault with such an unappreciative person…you can give
thanks to the Lord FOR him! You may be familiar with Matthew’s saying “He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and
the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” That’s in the fifth chapter of Matthew, 45th
verse.
So it’s going to rain on the crops of the mean old man, just as it will on the Christian’s crops. Oh, prayer
can change things, but when left alone, mother nature follows the rules God made for her, back when He made the world.
So when the ground is parched and a refreshing rain comes, give thanks to the Lord for yourself, and for the old geezer
down the road who’s complaining because he didn’t have on his boots.
As I’ve said before, what he gets here in this life, is ALL he’s going to get. So pray that he enjoys it while
he can.
By the way…if you fall in that category, now would be a good time to change your attitude. Talk to the Lord about
doing it HIS way, and He’ll accept you. In fact, He’s been waiting all this time for you.
