Rain Rain Go Away!

How many of us have sung that popular nursery rhyme this week?
"Rain rain go away come again another day,
Little children want to play!"
It has been raining for almost the whole week.
and when i'm im cabs, on the mrt or with my friends,
all they complain about is the RAIN!
They say that just because of the rain,
they could not go out with their family and friends
or they could not go to the beach etc etc.
How many of us have felt the exact same way and have even silently mumbled our grouses to God?
This long and dreary week has indeed taken a toil on most of us,
making some of us even refuse to get out of bed for work or school...
but this season of rain has brought a familiar passage to my mind.
Remember NOAH? (Gen 6:9-8:22)
can you imagine sitting in a big boat stuck with hundreds of animals,
your children constantly asking you WHEN the rain will stop,
your wife nagging about the wet clothings with no where to hang dry?
But God never forgot him and even left a mark of promise, the beautiful rainbow for Noah.
This is to remind us that He will never again flood the whole earth and destroy all mankind with a flood.
So the next time we hit a rainy season,
why not just take the time, relax and remember the story of Noah,
maybe, we can also peek out after the rain to spot a beautiful rainbow!
