Don't Forget To Bring Your Umbrella

One summer, a drought threatened the crop in a small town. On a hot and
dry
Sunday, the village pundit ji told villagers , There isn't anything that

will save us except to pray for rain. Go home, pray, believe, and come
back
next Sunday ready to thank God for sending rain.

The people did as they were told and returned to Mandir the following
Tuesday. But as soon as the pundit ji saw them, he was furious. We can't

worship today. You do not yet believe, he said. But, they protested, we
prayed, and we do believe. Believe he responded. Then where are your
umbrellas

The story applies to all of us. There are those people who leave their
umbrellas at home. Throughout their lives, they are merely hoping their
wishes and prayers will bear fruit, but they expect little.

Others expect their dreams and desires to come to pass. It is as if they

journey through life always prepared for something to happen.

Today, how will we approach that which we are yearning for Will we
expect
our prayers and work to bring about hoped-for results Will we bring our
umbrella.
