Dry Ground
The ground is dry. The rains are late. And although seeds have been planted, and young plants are springing up, unless there's some serious rain to fill the paddies, then the farmers will be faced with a problem. You can only transplant a young seedling that is between 30 to 40 days old. Otherwise the roots will break, and it won't take in the new place. Some of the seedlings are already almost this age, and there's been no rain. Farmers are having to plant extra seed, at extra cost, because they'll need something to transplant, or they won't have a harvest. Pray that God will open the heavens, sending physical rain, and the spiritual rain so much needed if hearts are going to be softened to let the good news take root.
