Picture for our group

God gave me this beautiful picture this morning for our group here. It's the picture of this heavy rain cloud sitting on top of us and the rain is cold and it's dark and we can't see anything around us, but God allowed me to watch the cloud from far away. When I was outside the cloud, I can see the enemy all around searching for us. He's waiting and stalking and trying to reach us, but the cloud is so thick, he can't find us. And inside the cloud, yes we are cold, we are wet, and we can't see where we are going, but God is inside the cloud with us holding out his hand. So we have Him to guide us through it and we don't appreciate it for what it really is. A great protection from something far worse on the outside. I was also then reminded of this sign I saw at a church the other day. "The fruitful life seeks rain as well as sunshine."
