Motorcycles and Worship

Yesterday was a great rainy day. The temperature stayed in the mid to upper seventies and the rain stayed at a constant drizzle for most of the day. SO...when the boys got home and finished their homework we hit the trail to go "mud-doggin'" (my 2 year old's pronunciation of "mud-boggin'). We had a blast and we were wet and filthy dirty when we got done! So what does that have to do with worship?

Worship is giving praise to God and honoring him as the supreme being and part of what that means is that we worship him as Creator and Sustainer. He created rain. Rain; therefore, is good and we should enjoy it. He sends rain to make crops grow which in turn sustain us in our lives; therefore, rain is good. My aunt passed away a few years ago after loosing her battle with ovarian cancer. She was known to say on a regular basis of rainy days, "Don't run from the rain. Feel the rain." In other words, experience the rain. In experiencing the rain, you can not help but experience the One who made the rain, the One who sent the rain and the One who wants you to enjoy the rain. Be sure I told the boys about the God who sends rain. The benefit to riding your ATV's on a rainy day is this: You get to thank God for washing your bike at the end of the day!
