Adapted from the original article which I wrote on 23rd March 2003 as an encouragement to many in Zimbabwe who had lost hope. This was just a few months after we had bought our farm by faith during the height of the farm invasions in our country. The situation seemed impossible, BUT GOD came through for us.

“Thou has turned for me my mourning into dancing: Thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness.” (KJV) – Ps 30:11

How wonderfully God is able to turn things for us. The last article I wrote was also early on a Sunday morning, called

“Another look at Habakkuk”. In it I spoke of the terrible

drought that we had been experiencing, and our need live by

faith and to trust God to supply our needs in spite of the

drought. Well, later that very day we received 15mm of rain

from the good hand of the Lord. The next day we had 23mm,

and the next we had 41mm. The last lot had come so

suddenly that the rain did not have time to soak in, and most

of it ended as run-off, and in one day almost filled the dam I

had built! Over the next two weeks a cyclone hit us, and we

had an average of about 25mm of rain per day. The dams

filled to spilling, and the ground was thoroughly soaked.
