Rain
I have heard thunder for nearly two hours.
Thunder announces coming rain, usually. But the rain just began.
It seems to be be pouring buckets of it, and I don't know if this will be a quick rainstorm, gone in a matter of minutes, or if it will last the rest of the afternoon and on into the night.
If you love rain, and I love the sound of it - especially when I'm sleepy and have the chance to nap, the thunder makes you eagerly await its drops.
If you loathe rain, thunder warns you that you have a limited amount of time before its coming down.
People tend to look at the coming return of Jesus in the same way.
If you are afraid of what His coming means - for you, for others - then you don't get excited when you see the signs and hear the reminders. You get worried.
If you love Him and look forward to His return, then you can hardly contain yourself when you see the signs and hear the reminders. You get excited!
The worriers should do something about that - come to Jesus and give themselves to Him. They won't have any more reason to fret.
The excited ones should do something, too - tell others!
Lord, thank You for the rain!
