Showers of Blessing

SH Ps. 143:8 (to 1st :)

8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust:

SH Ps. 63:1

1 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

SH Isa. 65:24

24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

SH Isa. 49:8 (to 1st ,)

8 Thus saith the LORD,

SH Isa. 49:8 3rd I

8 …I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;

SH Isa. 49:9 1st They, 10

9 …They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places. 10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.

SH Ps. 65:1 (to 2nd ,)

1 Praise waiteth for thee, O God,

SH Ps. 65:9 (to 2nd :)

9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water:

SH Ezek. 34:1

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

SH Ezek. 34:26 2nd I

26 …I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.

SH John 6:35

35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

SH John 7:37 1st If

37 …If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

SH Matt. 5:1, 2

1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

SH Matt. 5:5, 6

5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

SH Rev. 7:16, 17 (to 1st :)

16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. 17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters:

SH Deut. 28:12 (to 1st :)

12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand:

SH Deut. 32:2

2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:

SH Job 5:8-10

8 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: 9 Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number: 10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:

SH Ps. 68:9

9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.

SH Zech. 10:1

1 Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.

SH James 5:7

7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord.

SH Ps. 42:8 1st the

8 …the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

SH 14:25-28

Entirely separate from the belief and dream of mate-
rial living, is the Life divine, revealing spiritual under-
standing and the consciousness of man’s dominion
over the whole earth.

SH 326:8

All nature teaches God’s
love to man, but man cannot love God supremely and set
his whole affections on spiritual things, while loving the
material or trusting in it more than in the spiritual.

SH 257:15-21

The material senses and
human conceptions would translate spiritual ideas into
material beliefs, and would say that an anthropomorphic
God, instead of infinite Principle, – in other words, divine
Love, – is the father of the rain, “who hath begotten the
drops of dew,” who bringeth “forth Mazzaroth in his sea-
son,” and guideth “Arcturus with his sons.

SH 325:7

Jesus
gave the true idea of being, which results in infinite bless-
ings to mortals.

SH 247:24-27

It is Love which paints the petal
with myriad hues, glances in the warm sunbeam, arches
the cloud with the bow of beauty, blazons the night with
starry gems, and covers earth with loveliness.

SH 57:23-24

Love enriches the nature, en-
larging, purifying, and elevating it.

SH 240:1-11

Nature voices natural, spiritual law and divine Love,
but human belief misinterprets nature. Arctic regions,
sunny tropics, giant hills, winged winds,
mighty billows, verdant vales, festive flowers,
and glorious heavens, – all point to Mind, the spiritual
intelligence they reflect. The floral apostles are hiero-
glyphs of Deity. Suns and planets teach grand lessons.
The stars make night beautiful, and the leaflet turns nat-
urally towards the light.
In the order of Science, in which the Principle is above
what it reflects, all is one grand concord.

SH 516:12-21

Love, redolent with unselfish-
ness, bathes all in beauty and light. The grass beneath
our feet silently exclaims, “The meek shall inherit the
earth.” The modest arbutus sends her sweet breath to
heaven. The great rock gives shadow and shelter. The
sunlight glints from the church-dome, glances into the
prison-cell, glides into the sick-chamber, brightens the
flower, beautifies the landscape, blesses the earth. Man,
made in His likeness, possesses and reflects God’s domin-
ion over all the earth.

SH 89:18-20

Mind is not necessarily dependent upon educational
processes. It possesses of itself all beauty and poetry,
and the power of expressing them.

SH 119:17-18

In one sense God is identical with nature, but this na-
ture is spiritual and is not expressed in matter.

SH 509:9

14. And God said, Let there be lights in the
firmament of the heaven, to divide the day from the night;
and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days,
and years.

SH 509:24

The periods of
spiritual ascension are the days and seasons of Mind’s
creation, in which beauty, sublimity, purity, and holiness
– yea, the divine nature – appear in man and the uni-
verse never to disappear.
