Rainy Day

“I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number: Who giveth rain upon the earth” (Job 5:8-10).

I sat still, on a rainy day,

With extra time to read and pray;

And time to meditate awhile,

Within the sunshine of Christ’s smile: 

And what a blessing — bright the day,

Although the sky was dark and grey,

And though the clouds were thick and black,

My heart was light, I did not lack 

For joy and happiness all day,

Because I stopped to read and pray.

So don’t despise a rainy day,

Take extra time to read and pray!

“This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24).
