Devotional Text: 2 Corinthians 9:8-10
As I sit at my desk this morning, I look outside and it is pouring rain. We need it. The ground is still dry and brown from winterâs passing, and the rain will help the grass, trees and flowers spring back to life.
The rain reminds me of an often-sung and well-known hymn written by Major Daniel Webster Whittle in 1883, âThere Shall Be Showers of Blessings.â
Whittle wrote this hymn, one of some 200 authored by him, during his many years as an evangelist. The words are based on the book of Ezekiel 34:26-27.
Letâs read the biblical verses: âI will bless them and the places surrounding my hill. I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing. The trees of the field will yield their fruit and the ground will yield its crops; the people will be secure in their land.â
