clouds

isaiah 45:8
"You heavens above, rain down righetousness;
let the clouds shower it down.
Let the earth open up wide, let salvation spring up,
let righteousness grow with it;
I, the Lord, I have created it. "
hannah and i have attempted to watch the sunrise twice this semester and both times we have been greeted by this view: clouds. did we check the weather you ask ? why yes, we did.
this morning we sat in our spot and just laughed at the clouds and did the next best thing we knew to do at 6:25 in the morning- we drove to starbucks :)
my morning with hannah was great. she is a priceless friend, an absolute treasure that i hope you have the chance to know someday.
but when she dropped me off i came up my stairs and decided to look up places in the word that clouds were significant. this verse in isaiah really just spoke to my heart. for so many reasons, but this morning specifically because i desire to see salvation spring up across a campus and a generation that is walking in darkness. i love this illustration of righteousness from the Lord raining down on us. if this is why the clouds are here this morning, i will welcome them with a joyful heart.
