Today brought rain spitting fine mists from the sky. Just enough to want a rain coat. Or to run quickly between car and door.
One could say the day was dreary. Or one could grab the gift in drizzly.
Drizzle days create a desire to drizzle chocolate into coffee or over ice cream. Honey into tea or over toast.
Drizzle describes a slow experience offering a sweet ending.
Roots get time to soak in what they need. Taste buds get to linger over that smattering of sugar.
Souls get to slow down and soak in peace. Wisdom. Insight.
Such gifts arrive as souls soak in small doses of Jesus.
A scripture passage here: “Come now, let us reason together,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.” – Isaiah 1.18
A short parable there: “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.” – Matthew 13.44
A favorite proverb. “There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.” – Proverbs 16.25
A favorite memory of Jesus seeing you through. Like the time you thought your finances were in the tank and someone reached out with dollars to see you to the next pay day. A miraculous answer to prayer.
God designed drizzle days for your soul.
Here’s some divine hope to drizzle into your life today: “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you…” – 1 Peter 1.3,4
