"I will cause the shower to dome down in his season: there shall be showers of blessing" (Ezekiel 34: 26).
Here is sovereign mercy. There is only one voice which can speak to the clouds and bid them beget the rain. Who sends down the rain upon the earth? Who scatters the showers on the green herb? Do not I, the Lord? So grace is the gift of God and is not to be created by man. It is also needed grace. What would the ground do without showers? As absolutely needful is the divine blessing. In vain you labor, until God the plenteous shower bestows, and sends salvation down. Then, it is plenteous grace. "I will send them showes." It does not say, "I will send them drops," but "showers." So it is with grace. If God gives a blessing, He usually gives it in such a measure that thre is not room enought to receive it. Plenteous grace! We cannot do without saturating showers of grace. Again, it is seasonable grace. "I will cause the shower to come down in his season." What is your season this morning? Is it the season of drought? Then that is the season for showers. Is it a season of great heaviness and depression? Then that is the season for showers. "As thy day, so shall thy strength be." And here is a varied blessing. "I will give thee showers of blessing." The word is in the plural. God will send all kinds of blessings. All God's blessings go together, like links in a golden chain. If He gives converting grace, He will also give comforting grace. He will send "showers of blessing." Look up today, prached plant, and open your leaves and flowers for a heavenly watering.
