Showers and Sunshine

 

Showers and Sunshine I will cause the shower to come down in its season; there shall be showers of blessing — Ezekiel 34:26 You, O Lord, can transform my thorn into a flower. And I want my thorn transformed into a flower. Job got the sunshine after the rain, but has the rain been all a waste? Job wants to know, I want to know, if the shower had nothing to do with the shining? And You can tell me; Your Cross can tell me. You have crowned Your sorrow, O Lord! So let this be my crown, also. I only triumph in Thee when I have learned the radiance of the rain. —George Matheson The fruitful life seeks showers as well as sunshine. From Streams in the Desert, January 8
