Lockdown 522

Lockdown Day 522 - 30 August 2021

Yesterday our varsity friends took us on an outing to Baviaanskloof, which is directly adjacent to the Langkloof. We had a late breakfast at Padlangs, a well known Country Restaurant in Patensie.

After coffee, we left to take a drive into the gorge itself,  following a dirt road next to the Kouga river, which is the feeding artery for the Kouga dam. Being able to actually see the area and the river, evoked many emotions and I felt God's presence in a tangible way.

It was as if my spirit was feeling the drought in a completely different way while we were driving in the beautiful gorge. In a sense I felt as if I was becoming one with the place, and at the risk of sounding like an earth whisperer, tapping into the very ground God created.

The trip left me totally astounded and determined to pray for rain, more than ever, but also to start thanking God for the rain. We have been given the power to call it, based on what God tells us in His Word.

"For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says." Mark 11:23

"God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did" Romans 4:17b

Because God's really got this.
