When The Air Changes...You Know Something Is Coming!

[Timl1980]

Did you know that humans can smell petrichor...(the scent after rain)...at concentrations 200,000 times fainter than a shark smells blood.🤯

 

What does this teach me?

 

Jehovah designed us to sense refreshment before it arrives.

 

And spiritually speaking, He’s doing the same today!

 

Isaiah 58:11: "Jehovah will always lead you And satisfy you even in a parched land; He will invigorate your bones, And you will become like a well-watered garden, Like a spring whose waters never fail."

 

How amazing is that verse when you really stop to break it down and think about it?

 

Jehovah promises that He will lead you, satisfy you even in parched places...and make you like a well-watered garden!!

 

I found that phrase, "well-watered garden" so interesting during my personal study that I looked up the Hebrew word to see what it meant: "Ravah"...meaning saturated, overflowing with life!!

 

My brain tied all this together late last night as I was getting ready to fall asleep...and I shared my raw "data" on this subject with a brother and sister I know very well late last night. Imagine my surprise this morning when I saw the following message from this couple regarding my research:

 

 

"Good morning, Tim. We always love when you share some of your research with us. We were talking it over last night before we went to sleep and my wife came up with the following thoughts she wanted to share with you:

 

I never knew that about "petrichor"...but I have ALWAYS loved that smell!! Thank you so much for identifying it for me! I am going to write this in my notes now on Isaiah 58:11!!"

 

So friends...I will leave you with the following: When you catch those first subtle hints of Jehovah's care; a scripture that lands just right, a word from a brother or sister that hits the need you hadn’t voiced...that’s not coincidence.

 

That’s the air changing!

 

That’s Jehovah already sending the rain. And you’re tuned in enough to smell it coming!

Reading this and meditating on it . . . I hope it doesn't distract me during the meeting today. Thank you.
