When Nature Obeys

On the 17th Oct, Lord’s day, morning as I woke up, the weather was cloudy and drizzling. It was a perfect weather to spend the day. But we had to exhibit the ministry books outside the largest and oldest Christian meeting hall as we were granted permission to do so in their 75th anniversary celebration. As we were heading toward the venue for the exhibition, I prayed to the Lord that though the weather was pleasant it was not conducive for our books exhibition. I prayed that it should not rain and that it should shine for the sake of the ministry books exhibition. I prayed by faith that it should not rain.

As we reached the venue, still there was no sign of sunshine at all. But by faith we started arranging tables and displayed the books right outside the meeting hall of the church. From morning till afternoon I was standing with the books, exhibiting, explaining, selling, and distributing the ministry books. The Lord answered my simple prayer and it never rained as long as I stood with the books exhibiting. It was bright sunshine, a good number of believers came and saw the books, some purchased the books, and I was more than satisfied for this opportunity to be able to exhibit the ministry books in the heart of Ujjain city. 

In the afternoon when we finished exhibiting, the weather changed to a gloomy sky again. I knew it would rain. The duration for which I asked God to stopped that rain was over. All our work for the day was done. As soon as we finished  packing and was ready to leave, it started drizzling again. Then we could enjoy a pleasant  weather after all our day's work.

When we are one with God in His move, nature is under our control as much as we are under God's control. As Christians, we must always be in oneness with God in His move. All things will then fall in line. All are under God's control. 

Yes, when we obey God, nature obeys us too. For we are for God and nature is for God too. Amen.
