3-22-08 Psalm 72:6 Refreshing Springtime Rains

Psalms 72:6 (NAS)
May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, Like showers that water the earth.

Psalms 72:6 (NLT)
May his reign be as refreshing as the springtime rains—like the showers that water the earth.

Sometimes you may feel as if the enemy is trying to mow you down like the grass. You do not believe that you have the strength to withstand him and you may think that you have been cut off from the rest of the flock. Like a sheep that is being shorn, you are lying helpless on your back.

However, at those times, you need to put your trust in God. He will come down to you, descending from His throne to bring you the help you need. His Spirit will fall upon you as rain. As newly grown grass begins to grow again after a healing rain, so too will you begin to heal and grow again, after the Lord visits you.

You know that you are unable to count the accumulation of water drops in a rain shower. When the Lord sends you a shower, He is giving you an increase that you cannot number. He is multiplying you in manifold ways. He will pour tens of thousands drops of water upon your land, to release the abundance that He has promised you.
Therefore, rejoice when you find yourself in a "mown down" state, for you know that the enemy has set you up to receive more of the blessings of God.
