There are 7 high holy days instituted by God that He declared as His 'moedim', or appointed times. These revolve around rains and harvest. There are 4 spring feasts and 3 fall ones.
The last of the spring feasts is Pentecost. Pentecost, as most church-goers know - was a time when the Spirit of God fell in power upon the believers of the Acts church. But more than that, it represented the 'rain' of the Spirit falling upon all believers to empower them for their holy commission of spreading the Gospel.
But then there is this interesting time between the rain of Pentecost and the rain of Ingathering... called... summer. It's long. It's hot. It's DRY.
Ever have those dry times? You should know that it's part of the season. Don't be alarmed.
My pastor has said more than once... it's during these times that the water is there, you just have to dig a little to get it. Hallelujah for shovels! Yes, there is an early and a latter rain, but in the middle when it seems like there's nothing doin'... get your shovel.
