Rain in abundance

There is a verse in Job stating: "He gives rain on the earth, And sends waters on the fields." Thus as the rain continues for the last two days we know it is from God. Along with that the wind is blowing and gusting 40 to 50 mph. Water has made its way through cracks and open windows. I have had to soak it into all the towels. The Masantol people may not feel the same about the source of the rain or it's blessing. Many of the yards I see from my windows have flooded. Most homes are surrounded by cinder block or cement walls. They seem to go in all directions with no plan or order. Thus a yard (if any) may be 15 feet long and maybe as wide surrounded by walls. There is nowhere for water to escape. The river has come up about ten feet. It is now overflowing its banks. Many plants, trees and dead animal carcasses are floating down stream. Normally I can look out the upstairs windows across the river to open market places along the opposite riverbank. Now these have begun to flood. The trikes that are normally along the dirt street in front of the church, have moved to higher ground on the bridge crossing the river. Wow, I have not seen rain like this.
After two days and just before Thursday midweek Bible study, the rain suddenly stopped. Now the people can come to church. The rain will not keep them away. God can rain down His manna. Tonight about a dozen or so people make it through the mud and flooded streets to church. All of them walk and come from the neighborhood. We had worship time and then shared from I Peter. We have worship while listening to CD's and reading an overhead. We began a study in I Peter. We spent all of our time talking about Peter and his background. We studied how Jesus brought in the greatest catch Peter had seen as a fisherman, in Luke 5. We were challenged with Peter to listen to God and follow His call. We were called like Peter to become "fishers of men". God showered on us His blessings.
