Yesterday I read Proverbs 16:15In the light of the king's face is life
And his favor is like a cloud of the latter rain.
Rain has symbolized God's favor, His presence and, to me, the fact that He is the God who sees - El Roi.
This morning I woke up and drove to the gym and it was raining.
Mommy is going to be having chemo this week and this little bit of rain showed me that God sees and knows what lies ahead of us this week. It revealed the Father heart of God that cares. He is with us. His favor is still over us.
*Edited to add:
I was just listening to my iPod on shuffle and Shane & Shane's song Rain Down came on. Here are the lyrics:
In the light of the King's face
there is life
Giving favor to His children
like a cloud of rain
Rain is falling in His presence
on our thirsty hearts
As we seek the knowledge
of your will
Oh God impart
Oh never, ever ending river
fill us up
Rain down upon us
Rain down upon us
We need You
We need You
Rain down
One thing we ask
and Lord we humbly seek
That in Your shelter we can hide
and gaze upon the King
In His presence we find fullness
we are satisfied
Come, Lord Jesus, let us look
upon You with enlightened eyes
You are raining down and
we are filling up
You keep raining down and
we keep filling up
I love those little reminders from God.

The everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:28-31
