Spiritual Songs: "Bring the Rain" by MercyMe

Evil is an ever present reality in our world. Because evil exists, some have concluded that a good God cannot exist. However, God's goodness is visible even in the heartaches and hardships of life. Just because we cannot imagine a reason compelling enough for the existence of pain, doesn't mean that there isn't a reason. It simply means that we have limited understanding of the world and its workings.

When people say, "If God was good, this event wouldn't have happened!" Does one negative experience, or even a million negative experiences for that matter, actually erase the countless blessings we experience everyday? If we are blessed, yet fail to recognize it, does that remove the blessing? Do we actually deserve every good thing that happens in our life?

This song deals with the problem of pain. It encourages trust in the faithfulness of God. It calls for us to bravely embrace the path God has for us, whether the going is easy or tough. Suffering is part of the Christian life.  This song is a heart cry for God to be glorified in our lives. Do you yearn for God to be glorified in your life? Then, trust him when he brings the rain.  Enjoy the video:
