With my face facing the old white ceiling, I laid frailly on my bed after waking up from my very short sleep. Obviously, Yesterday was very stressful not because I did a lot of work but because I had to go to bed hungry. Oh! You don't know hunger can me one very tired?
I could literally feel my pot belly going back to it normal size and even becoming flatter than it should, because I cannot remember the actual day I ate something good.
So while I laid on my bed thinking of how miserable the past few days have been and how today would go again, I became unnecessarily angry and in no time tears of anger starts flowing freely from my eyes.
My eyes ran through all the empty bags that was supposed to be full of Food in my room and that alone made me pity myself more. I had decided not to check my account balance again because the sight of the figure in it alone can be very annoying.
Then I remembered that, just last two weeks from now, my account balance was literally making a lot of noise.
I could remember how the money in my account kept on beckoning on me to spend it which I massively yielded to, without thinking twice.
I also remembered that, my room was also full of foods of different kinds, last two weeks. I remembered how I threw a party in my house for no specific reason maybe because my food stuff were whispering to my ears something I did not understand. I remembered how I invited all my friends in the community and how they also came with their friends.
I cannot forget the sight of how they all devoured the food I presented before them like hungry lions. It wasn't their fault though, I was the one that brought them in.
Then it dawned on me that I could have reserved some of those foods and money for days like this. It dawned on me that if I had saved some of those food in the store and some of the money in the bank, I would escaped this pathetic situation.
I would not have been in this mess, if I had discerned that it was raining then, so that I can prepare for this season that is full of Dryness.
There are different season in this world and in a man's life.
The very common season we have is the raining and dry season.
The rain is not just there to make us cold and happy, it's there so that we can consciously prepare for the dry and that's why farmers who use the raining season wisely can never suffer during the dry season
A lot of times, we experience abundance in a particular area of our life, maybe financially or spiritually in a particular season and then the next season, it is looking like we have never experienced overflow just because we failed in doing just one thing, which is Preparing for the dry season.
It would not rain Everytime. There would not be overflow Everytime, there would not be plenty Everytime, it's your ability to discern when things are in abundance and make plans for the coming days when reverse might be the case, that would determine if you would live like a king even when it is dry.
Whenever it's raining always bear in mind that the dry season is near, so don't just enjoy the rain also prepare for the dry season!.
