The 5 Mormon Parables of Rain

Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of quotes and imagery surrounding rain? I was thinking about some of them today and how they apply to my life. They offer many positive messages to ponder.What can we learn from the rainy days or extended storms in our life?

#1. WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS

Have you noticed that when things seem to be as bad as they can get, it often rains even harder?! The story of Job in the Bible certainly comes to mind as an extreme example. I believe there is a reason for everything that happens, but sometimes it seems hard to see through the storm, and it can really feel like we’re drowning!

#2. The Rains Come Down and Floods Come Up

The gospel of Jesus Christ does not promise that we will be free from tribulation. But it does strengthen our spirit so that we can accept adversity and face it when it comes. The house founded upon a rock does not fall with strong winds or torrential rain.
