Fingerprint Friday – Drought and Rain

There is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman that says:

I can see the fingerprints of God
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know it’s true
You’re a masterpiece
That all creation quietly applauds
And you’re covered with the fingerprints of God

Where do you see God’s Fingerprints in your life? This week? This year? Today? In your kids, the sunset, a friend, prayers answered? Check out Becki over at The Rusted Chain for more links to other Fingerprint Fridays!

Texas is in a drought. We hadn’t seen rain since April until last Saturday and Sunday. My backyard is a huge mass of brown, especially since there is no shade in it.

It rained a nice steady rain off and on all day Saturday and Sunday. Not enough to make up to where we normally are in rain fall for the year but enough to make my grass start greening up again.

My soul is a lot like my grass. I thirst for God in my life. His Presence is a constant balm to my heart. When I remove myself from His fellowship, I shrivel up and turn brown (figuratively speaking). When I allow God access to my life and my heart, my soul rejoices and starts growing again. Just like my lawn started greening up again after the rain came.

2 Samuel 23:4 – “he is like the light of morning at sunrise on a cloudless morning, like the brightness after rain that brings grass from the earth.” NIV
