經文: 「我也必叫時雨落下，必有福如甘霖而降。」(以西結書卅四：26)

誰能呼風喚雨？誰能扭轉乾坤？除了這位造天地的真神，誰有這樣無上權柄，吩咐萬物、指使天象？這一切非人手所能辦到，惟有上帝的垂顧與恩典才能辦到。
<BR> 想想哪！大地若沒有雨水的滋潤，將會乾旱遍野，草木不生。這對人類而言，是何等的悲慘。但上帝叫時雨落下，不是幾滴而已，乃是傾盆而落。是的，上帝所賜的恩，常是上尖下流的倒下，常叫我們福杯滿溢，甚至無處可容。哈利路亞！我們需要這豐渧的恩福。
<BR> 而且，祂所降的是「時雨」，不早不晚，恰是時候，有如久旱逢甘霖。朋友，今早你的心境是怎樣？是枯涸乾竭？還是憂傷沉重？上帝要賜下甘霖。「你的日子如何，你的力量也如何。」上來也應許要降福如甘霖，而且此處的福，英文是用複數，也就是上帝要賜下各樣的福份，有如珍珠項鍊，一顆一顆的串連起來。仰起你的頭來，張開你的雙臂吧，上帝要以聖靈澆灌你，並賜下各樣屬靈的福份。


Morning, February 24

Scripture: "I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing."(Ezekiel 34:26)

Here is sovereign mercy—"I will give them the shower in its season." Is it not sovereign, divine mercy?—for who can say, "I will give them showers," except God? There is only one voice which can speak to the clouds, and bid them beget the rain. Who sendeth down the rain upon the earth? Who scattereth the showers upon 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? You may break the clods, you may sow your seeds, but what can you do without the rain? As absolutely needful is the divine blessing. In vain you labour, until God the plenteous shower bestows, and sends salvation down. Then, it is plenteous grace. "I will send them showers." 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 there is not room enough to receive it. Plenteous grace! Ah! we want plenteous grace to keep us humble, to make us prayerful, to make us holy; plenteous grace to make us zealous, to preserve us through this life, and at last to land us in heaven. 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 thy season this morning? Is it the season of drought? Then that is the season for showers. Is it a season of great heaviness and black clouds? Then that is the season for showers. "As thy days so shall thy strength be." And here is a varied blessing. "I will give thee showers of blessing." The word is in the plural. All kinds of blessings God will send. 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 to-day, O parched plant, and open thy leaves and flowers for a heavenly watering.
