40 Days and 40 Nights?

"And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered."
-Genesis 7:19

This is what a lot of people felt was going to happen to us here in Akita last monday! If you look at the pictures below you can see if this river got any higher it was going to come over the wall and wreck everything!




And.. It even threatened the rice fields!



Yet, it stopped early on tuesday morning and the waters receded and are once again back to a normal level. Every time it rains like this and threatening floods come, God gives us these verses:

"And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth."
-Genesis 9:11-13

So I encourage you when you see rain to think of this verse and what happened in the bible and what God promises!

Then all that is left to do is smile and enjoy the rain, go puddle jumping or something!!
