 The California raisin industry had its beginning in September 1873 when the San Joaquin Valley suffered a severe heat wave. Up until then California's grapes were either made into wine or sold as fresh fruit. That year the heat dried up the grapes before they could be picked and used for either purpose. All of the grape growers gave up and considered their crops a loss. That is all except one resourceful grower. He sold his withered grapes to a grocer in San Francisco who resold them as a “Peruvian Delicacy.” The public loved them and the California raisin industry was off and running.
Like the California grape growers of 1873, perhaps you are experiencing a hot dry spell in life when nothing seems to go right. If so "commit thy way unto the LORD and trust... in Him (Ps 37:5). For "blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD (Jer 17:7) "He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water... his leaf... shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper" (Ps 1:3).
