GOD DESIGNED THE RAIN
Raindrops form when water molecules cling to tiny particles in the air like dust, salt, pollen, or smoke. As these droplets bump into more water, they grow until they’re heavy enough to fall from the clouds. Job described this very process nearly 4,000 years ago—long before modern science explained it!
Contrary to the cartoon “teardrop” image, real raindrops are mostly spherical. As they fall, air resistance flattens them slightly, making them look more like little hamburger buns than teardrops. But raindrops can only grow so big—about ¼ inch in diameter—before they break apart. This balance, held in place by surface tension, keeps rain from becoming destructive.
Just imagine if drops grew unchecked into the size of bowling balls—they’d tear up plants, trees, and soil with every storm. Or if they were too tiny, like fog droplets, they’d never even reach the ground. Even in something as simple as rain, we see the Creator’s perfect wisdom and design.
