Trusting Our Creator

I've been very aware of seeking a new level with G-d. I want more of HIS Great Spirit in my life and well, Since I pray "Thy kingdom come," I want HIS kingdom to come in my life. I also became very aware of the words in the accounts of the gospel, "He who is faithful in the little things will be given much." Since these Days of AWE have begun with Feast of Trumpets, I'm becoming much more aware of the little things and giving thanks for them, and trusting HIM in them, then giving HIM glory for what HE does. I have to share this because it was so awesomely HIM. The other morning, it was raining. Now, I have stated and stand behind that statement that I enjoy choring in the rain, but . . . it was really raining hard. As I sat here at my desk with my first cup of coffee, I asked Adonai if HE would hold back the rain for just a bit so I could open the chicken houses without getting drenched. All the four-legged critters have access to their pasture and water, as well as shelter so they are free to be where they choose, but the poultry gets closed up at night for protection and they need out for food and water, so . . . it's an every morning and evening event, rain or shine. As I sat here, the rain wasn't letting up, at all. I had felt a bit guilty, maybe even selfish, for even asking about holding back the rain, because this area had really suffered a long hot dry spell and the rain was much needed, but HE knew my heart. Then something in me just knew I needed to get up and take step. I then "heard" it confirmed in my spirit. Trust, real trust, steps out, and so I did. I kid you not, this is no exaggeration or embellishment. By the time I got to the door, and opened it, it had stopped raining. The sky was still dark and overcast, but it wasn't raining. I opened all the chicken doors, checked to make sure the little goats were dry and had some hay, made all my rounds, and stopped at the Tabernacle for the Sh'ma and to thank G-d for this miracle. I thanked HIM for holding back the heavy rain and even told HIM, that I wasn't expecting HIM to stop it, just lighten it. And with that, a gentle mist just began to fill the air. So lightly, the rain fell, it wasn't really even making drops in the puddles that were already formed. It was amazing. I thought of what really a small matter, yet great thing I had been blessed to be a part of. The Creator, maker of heaven and earth who holds the wind and rain in HIS hand had timed it all perfectly around my first step. As I returned to the house, and settled into another cup of coffee, the rain once again began to fall as it had been when I first asked. It rained the rest of the morning and into the afternoon. We've been blessed with much rain in the past few weeks and to be honest, I don't think that morning was really about the rain at all. It was about trust and stepping out and realizing HE's still in control!
YHWH shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand . . . Torah of Holy Scripture
