| Prayer The importance of Faith |
BRING YOUR UMBRELLA
One summer, a drought threatened the crop in a small town. On a hot and dry
Sunday, the village parson told his congregation, "There isn't anything that will save
us except to pray for rain. Go home, pray, believe, and come back next Sunday
ready to thank God for sending
rain."
The people did as they were told and returned to church the following Sunday. But
as soon as the parson saw them, he was furious.
"We can't worship today. You do not yet believe," he said.
"But," they protested, "we prayed, and we do believe."
"Believe?" he responded. "Then where are your umbrellas?"
The story applies to all of us. There are those people who leave their umbrellas at
home. Throughout their lives, they are merely hoping their wishes and prayers will
bear fruit, but they expect little.
Others expect their dreams and desires to come to pass. It is as if they journey
through life always prepared for something to happen.
Today, how will you approach that which you are yearning for? Will you expect
your prayers and work to bring about hoped-for results? Will you bring your
umbrella?
