God provides abundantly—even in a drought

Originally appeared on spirituality.com

Picture this: more than 450 days have passed since significant rain of more than 50mm [2 inches] has fallen over the catchment areas of the three huge reservoirs that supply your city. Dam levels have now dropped to only 23 percent capacity. Severe water restrictions are in force. It’s getting desperate. Everyone is working hard to conserve what’s left.

How do you pray about such a situation?

This is the question I’m confronted with every day. Australia is the driest continent on earth. Yet until this drought hit, I used the clean drinking-water piped to my house to take long showers, wash the car, liberally hose the garden. I left the tap on while I brushed my teeth. I never dreamed that the water I used so freely might one day be in seriously short supply.
