 “Under The Spout Where The Glory Comes Out”

Ezekiel 34:26

God’s grace comes in down pours, shower after shower, not a few drops here and there. Like His blood that was shed, it wasn’t spilled, it was shed, all of it poured out for all mankind, not just a few drops on this one and that one; not perchance that a small particle or droplet splatter on me, but all of  it for me, as if I was the only one to be saved, it takes all of it, the shower of it.

God blesses the earth with rain, it doesn’t just happen incidentally, “is it not I” saith the Lord! So, Grace is the gift of God, not of man, and we need Grace. We need divine grace as much as the ground needs rain.  I need grace and mercy, as much as I need to breathe air. We toil and labor to find peace and satisfaction, we exhaust every avenue to find soul happiness, and then the instant we put aside self, God will shower you with it. God said, I’ll send the showers down according to “seasons:. What is your season, your need? Are you living in drought? Has anxiety and depression overtaken you? It is time then for showers to come, “As thy day, so shall thy strength be.” Showers of blessings, means many different kinds, whatever the need is. If the need is converting grace, He’ll give it; Comforting grace, ask and it is there; Are you parched and dry? He’ll send you a shower to revive you and cleanse you, look up and receive His showers of blessings.

“Showers of Grace” 

Grace is not a hidden thing, 

God willingly reveals.

To the deepest valleys, the highest mountains,

and to the rolling hills.

Grace comes in showers, as to the need, 

and according to His gracious will.

Weekly Memory Verses: II Timothy 2:11-15 

2 Timothy 2:11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. 14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
