A pleasing trickle

by Bruce Wadd

 

Australia is experiencing its worst drought on record.  In the city version of that dry time, brown lawns and no sprinklers are the minimal impact that we experience.  It’s nothing compared to the devastation of rural and outback areas!

 

But this morning during my exercise time I heard something that brings a smile.  During the walk it started to rain steadily, dampening the road and wetting my sweat-laden shirt.  After fifteen minutes of this constant precipitation the gutters began to fill to a point where my ears detected the pleasing trickle of water in the drain.

 

What a welcome sound that was!  It was something that had been missing from my senses for months during this dry period.

 

God has promised that as a Christian you will not experience just a trickle but an overflowing of the Holy Spirit in your life.  Others will know us because of our love, kindness and generosity.  Check this out!!

 

“Now glory be to God who by his might power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare ask or even dream of…”  Ephesians 3:20

 

Today, let His Holy Spirit overflow in your life!!
