THE Reason For EVERY Season
“I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing” – (Ezekiel 34:26)
The struggle is real
What is your season today my friends?
Is it a season of drought or lack? Then according to God’s Word. According to the promise before us. That is the season for “showers of blessing.” Are you dealing with a season of great heaviness and black clouds? There is the Light of His promise in every cloud. “As thy day, so shall thy strength be.” (Deut 33:25)
Jesus still promises us today:
there shall be showers of blessing.” (Ezekiel 34:26,
Notice too, the word “showers” is in the plural. God will send all kinds of showers, according to our need. All of God’s precious blessings and assurances go together. All one package, according to each individual’s situation, as if they were all links in a golden chain.
If God gives converting grace, He will surely give us comforting grace. Jesus will give “showers of blessing!” As CH Spurgeon once put it:
“Look up today, Oh parched plant. Open thine leaves and flowers for a Heavenly Watering.”
“Let but thy heart become a valley low,
And God will rain upon it
till it surely will overflow.”
Prayer: Dear Lord, I ask you today: transform my thorn into a flower. And I want my thorn transformed into a flower please. Job got the sunshine after the rain, but has the rain been all waste? Job wants to know, I want to know, if the shower had nothing to do with the shining?
I thank you too Lord, because Your Cross can tell me the answer to this question. You O Lord have crowned Your own sorrow. May this be my crown too is my prayer in Jesus’ name. I only triumph in YOU as I learn the radiance of the rain, and the Light in every cloud.
Fruitful Life Seeks Showers As Well As Sunshine.
“The landscape, brown and sere beneath the sun,
Needs but the cloud to lift it into life;
The dews may damp the leaves of tree and flower,
But it requires the cloud-distilled shower
To bring rich verdure to the lifeless life.
“Ah, how like this, the landscape of a life:
Dews of trial fall like incense, rich and sweet;
But bearing little in the crystal tray
Like nymphs of night, dews lift at break of day
And transient impress leave, like lips that meet.
“But clouds of trials, bearing burdens rare,
Leave in the soul, a moisture settled deep:
Life kindles by the magic law of God;
And where before the thirsty camel trod,
There richest beauties to life’s landscape leap.
“Then read thou in each cloud that comes to thee
The words of Paul, in letters large and clear:
So shall those clouds thy soul with blessing feed,
And with a constant trust as thou dost read,
All things together work for good. Fret not, nor fear!”

Let your soul dwell in the timeless, changeless, tireless God. There is none like Him. He will ride through heaven to help you, will thrust out the enemies that resist your progress, will be your fountain and dew, your corn and wine, and will place beneath you arms as tender as they are loving. However low you fall, they will always be underneath. As your day, so your strength!
Jesus has been raised up from the dead to be our plant of renown. Planted in the grave of death, He has become with His faithful people a Vine, whose shadow covers the hills, and enriches the hearts and lives of men with luscious fruit. And because He lives, we shall live also. His resurrection implies and guarantees our own.
Light, life, joy, peace, and power shall be manifest in all the assemblies of Christ’s people.
I the Lord will be YOUR God, I the Lord have spoken it. And I will make with you all a covenant of peace,With you that were lost, that were driven away, that were sick, that were broken, My promise is sure. My Word will always be the Light in your clouds. (Psalms 119:105, Rev 1:7)
When the darkest of clouds is over the whole earth (Rev 3:10) Jesus Himself will still be THE Light in every cloud.
Behold, He comes with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, and those who pierced Him will see Him, and all the kindreds of the earth will wail because of Him. Even so, Amen.(Rev 1:7)
He has made the earth by His power; He has established the world by His wisdom, and has stretched out the heavens by His understanding. When He utters His voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and He causes the mists to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings with rain and brings forth the wind out of His treasures. (Jer 51:15-16)
Ask rain from Jehovah in the time of the latter rain. Jehovah shall make storm clouds, and He gives them showers of rain, grass to everyone in the field. (Zech 10:1)
(For the earth which drinks in the rain that comes often upon it, and brings forth plants fit for those by whom it is dressed, receives blessing from God. (Heb 6:7)
The only ONE who can actually change the climate is Jesus:
He causes the vapors to rise from the end of the earth; He makes lightnings for the rain; He brings wind out of His storehouses. (Psalms 135:7)
JESUS: the reason for every season!
