Showers
of Blessings
Sometimes there will be your ordinary, and expected
showers here on the Olympic Peninsula, and other times there are those that are
rather surprising and extraordinary.
“I will bless
my people and their homes around my holy hill. And in the proper season I will
send the showers they need. There will be showers of blessing.” Ezekiel
34:26
When you live on the west side of the Olympic
Mountains you soon learn you may be living in the rain shadows of these great
mountains. Not long ago as I climbed into my car on a sunny day at home, I
drove a mere three miles down the road to be amazed at a down pour so heavy I
had to slow down and speed up the windshield wipers!
It’s rather surprising and extraordinary every time
this happens. And we often find people from out of the area scratching their
heads wondering what’s going on. Simple to God, puzzling and surprising to us
all.
The prophet Ezekiel described an extraordinary downpour-a
promise of a shower of blessings like the Israelites had not seen before. A
rain so refreshing that it would produce more crops, and trees to grow good
fruit but more than that, it was a season of refreshing for them, a time to
draw them back closer to God once again.
That’s still what God does for us today. He blesses
His followers with showers of blessings to refresh us and to draw us into a
closer relationship with Him. Those showers of blessings are sometimes great or
they may trickle upon us one by one, always catching us surprise.
So let us
watch closely each day for those unexpected splashes of joy that may come our
way, and share them too that others are blessed.
Great or
small, in all seasons of our lives there will come from the God who sees our
needs, showers of blessings to reminds us, “You are mine, I am near, and I will
always care for you.”
Watch for those showers of blessings
They’re a reminder its God’s promise of love;
His perfect timing so surprising and refreshing
Sent from our Savior in heaven above.
