"Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders which You have done, And Your thoughts toward us; There is none to compare with You. If I would declare and speak of them, They would be too numerous to count." Psalm 40:5 (NAS)

Rain is depended upon in the jungle.  Without it, wells will dry up, crops will die and the temperature will continue to rise. 

One Sunday as I sat under the tree where we had church, my thoughts turned to the rain, or more correctly to the absence of rain.  I then realized that in the 14 months that I had lived int he jungle, no church service had ever been canceled for rain.  I felt God saying to me, Of course not.  You meet under a tree.  You can't have church if it's raining.  I've got that detail under control.

What an amazing realization!  It had never occurred to me that we had good weather for church, but God had been taking care of it.  I never bothered to pray about having good weather for church.  Yet God already had it under control. 

When I think about what that means in the rest of my life, I am almost overwhelmed.  God proves daily that He is ordering my steps and planning my days.  If He takes the time to plan good weather for believers in the jungle who meet under a tree, won't He be planning my life and your life as well?
