Beloved: grace and mercy be yours from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Redeemer. I welcome you with gladness into another week of this month, the month of July 2025. My prayer is that every blessing you have freely received from God will work in your life in the week to make you excel in all that you do. Amen.
As we begin this new week, I want to encourage you with these words of the Scripture:
“And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.” (Ezekiel 34:26KJV)
Every child of God desires to experience His blessings in their lives. However, God’s promise is not just for a little blessing but for showers of blessing—abundant, overflowing and timely blessings. Just as rain refreshes dry ground and brings fruitfulness, God’s blessings bring renewal, restoration and increase to every area of people’s lives.
What, then, are showers of blessing? First, we have spiritual blessings. These come to us as salvation and forgiveness, gifts of the Holy Spirit and fruit of the Spirit, resulting in spiritual growth. And remember that our Lord Jesus, in John 7:38-39, promises rivers of living water to those who believe in Him. These are rivers of the Holy Spirit. And those of us who have Him in our lives already have these rivers of His blessing flowing in us and through us.
Then we have material blessings. God provides for His children’s needs, opening all kinds of doors for their promotion, progress and welfare. That is why Paul, in Philippians 4:19, says, “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
In addition, we have blessings of restoration. God restores what has been lost. He turns sorrow into joy. Joel 2:25 says, “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten…” So, as God’s blessings are working in our lives, we can expect Him to restore to us things that we have lost.
But then, even though God’s blessings are readily and freely available for all men, certain conditions must be met for people to receive and enjoy them. What are these conditions? First, people must repent and return to God. Sin can hinder the receiving or the manifestation of God’s blessings. (Cf. Isaiah 59:1–2)
Second, obey God’s Word. Obedience to God brings divine favor (Deuteronomy 28:1–2). Third, be faithful in serving God. God rewards those who diligently seek and serve Him (Hebrews 11:6). Fourth, live by faith. Believe and embrace God’s promises, even when you cannot yet see them (Hebrews 6:12).
In conclusion, no matter how dry your situation may seem at the moment, God is able to make you experience showers of His blessing every day. Therefore, trust Him, remain faithful and continue walking in obedience. The same God who promised showers of blessing is faithful to fulfill His Word. I pray that God will cause every dry area of your life to experience great showers of His blessing, as you go this week, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Have a lovely week.
