For weeks—sometimes months—Florida’s winters and springs can feel like a sun-soaked standoff with the sky. Dry ground. Parched air. Wildfires smoldering in the distance. We’ve been here before. The grass browns. The ponds shrink. The humidity taunts without mercy. And then, one day, it happens.
The clouds gather, not just in threat, but in promise. The sky finally lets go. Rain.
Not a drizzle. Not a tease. A downpour.
You can almost hear the earth sigh.
And maybe, if you’ve been in a spiritual drought, you know that feeling too.
There are seasons in life when it feels like heaven has gone silent. You pray, and the words feel dry in your mouth. You worship, and it sounds like you’re singing into the wind. You serve, but your soul is thirsty. Maybe you’re showing up, but you’re worn out. That’s what drought does—it depletes, it cracks, it makes you wonder if anything living is still under the surface.
But then—sometimes slowly, sometimes suddenly—God sends rain.
A moment in worship.
A word from Scripture.
A message at just the right time.
A friend who sees through the smile and asks the real question.
And just like that, the sky opens.
Ezekiel 34:26 says,
“I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing.”
God knows exactly when and how to refresh dry souls. He hasn’t forgotten. He hasn’t abandoned. He’s been preparing the rain.
So if you’re walking through a dry season, don’t give up. The drought is not the end. The clouds are gathering. Relief is coming.
And when the rain falls—just like in Florida—you’ll see life begin to bloom again.
