Gum boots
(Gum-boots is the Australian name for knee-high, waterproof boots!)
Over time, we have become quite sarcastic towards this meteorological tool and now we say, “So where’s the promised rain? It has not come … so where is it?”
Jesus also made a
promise that He would come again and the world would end but the scoffers of
his barometer are still scoffing. “What has happened to the promise of
His coming,” they scorn, as Peter said they would.
This morning I thought I heard thunder, but when I came out to investigate, the barometer sent a signal that looked like a pair of gum-boots. The inscription said,
The promise may come before the day is over, so I pulled my gum-boots on. Will you put yours on now, too?

We
have a barometer that incessantly says rain is coming but the rain does not
arrive. The barometer is telling us a lie. It’s saying what we would like
to hear at a time when we desperately need rain, but the truth is quite
different.
