Save for a Rainy Day

Save for a Rainy Day

Save for a Rainy Day--clouds and rain at Niagara FallsWe never know what the future holds.

Therefore, we need to save for a rainy day.

A few of us enjoy rainy days. Many people do not. For them, a rainy day means a bad time.

  • The sky becomes dark.
  • They must cancel outside plans.
  • Everything turns wet and messy.
  • They get in a bad mood.

Whether we like rainy days or not, we should prepare for them.

  • Keep an umbrella.
  • Make inside plans.
  • Dress for wet weather.
  • Do something to improve our mood.

When we save for a rainy day, we prepare for hard times.

Storms in life occur as well as storms in the weather. Life storms may include:

  • Job loss
  • Health problems
  • Home or car repairs
  • Other unexpected bills

We prepare for a rainy day – an emergency – by saving money. We hope we never have to spend that money. Yet, we have it if we need it.

As an old song reminds us, into each life some rain must fall.

Sometimes when it rains, it pours. Therefore, let’s batten down the hatches and get ready for the rain.

“The clouds poured down water, the heavens resounded with thunder” (Psalm 77:17 NIV).
