Praise God for Namibian rain!!

NAMIBIA’S major storage dams are full after weeks of incessant rain. The largest dams in the country are the Von Bach, Hardap and Naute dams. Von Bach near Okahandja is 99 per cent full, NamWater said yesterday. The Naute Dam near Keetmanshoop is at 100,1 per cent of its capacity, while the Hardap Dam near Mariental is at 75,8 per cent despite NamWater’s efforts to maintain it at 70 per cent by opening the sluice gates. The Hardap dam level is being kept at 70 per cent to prevent flooding Mariental in the event of major inflows. Windhoek’s Goreangab Dam is now 100,8 per cent full. The Avis Dam on the eastern outskirts of the city has been overflowing and its sluices are being opened periodically. The Swakoppoort Dam, also near Okahandja, is 100,4 per cent full and the Oanob Dam near Rehoboth is at 89,6 per cent. At Gobabis, the Daan Viljoen Dam has risen to 75,8 per cent of full capacity.

Just look what God has done! This dam is on the farm of the De Klerk family in the south near Grunau. When I visited the De Klerk farm in the beginning of February, this dam was completely dry.

"He will also send you rain for the seed you sow in the ground, and the food that comes from the land will be rich and plentiful. In that day your cattle will graze in broad meadows." -- Isaiah 30:23 "You heavens above, rain down righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness grow with it; I, the LORD, have created it." -- Isaiah 45:8

Praise God for His goodness, for good rains all over the country. Pray that His salvation will also rain down in all areas where there are spiritual dryness.
