Drought

It is with irony that I read I Kings 17 today in my devotion. The story starts out with Elijah prophesying NO rain for the land to King Ahab. As I write this we are receiving record rain falls and people are being evacuated from their homes in and around Atlanta. Elijah was told to go hangout by the brook Cherith. If I was to go to a brook at this moment I would need to take my kayak for fear of getting washed away. It was this time last year that the news media was feeding on our own fears of drought by telling us we only had so many more months of water left in the reservoirs. How things change in a year. We may not know what is coming but we can trust in the One who does.
