荒漠甘泉(一月八日)
Streams in the Desert 
(January 8)

“我也必叫时雨落下,必有福如甘霖而降。”(结三十四章二十六节) 

  今天早晨你的光景如何?是不是一个枯燥的光景?那么你正需要时雨滋润了。是不是一个忧愁烦恼的光景?那么你正需要时雨调剂了。“你的日子如何,你的力量也必如何。”(申三十三章二十五节)。“必有福如甘霖而降。”“福”字在原文中是多数的。意思是神要降各种——不止一样——的福。神一切的祝福联在一起,如一条金链一般,一一降下。如果他给我们得救的恩典,他也要给我们得胜的恩典。恩典上还要加上恩典。他的祝福真如甘霖一般。哦,枯萎的植物阿,张开你的叶子和花瓣来接受从天上来的时雨罢。 ——司布真 (Spurgeon)

  主啊:你能使我的荆棘变成花朵。我愿我的荆棘变成花朵。约伯在雨后获得阳光,雨是完全白费的吗?约伯想知道,我也想知道,那场倾盆大雨和雨后的阳光普照,是否毫无关系?你能告诉我——你的十字架能告诉我。你已给你的苦难加上王冠。主啊!愿这是我的王冠。我知道了雨的荣耀,我唯有为你而欢欣。——马得逊

  收获丰富的生命需求阳光,同时也需要求时雨。
 

I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing (Ezekiel 34:26).

What is your season today? Are you experiencing a season of drought? If so then it is the season for showers. Are you going through a season of great heaviness with dark clouds? Then that too is the season for showers. "Your strength will equal your days" (Deut. 33:25). "I will send... showers of blessing." Notice that the word 'showers' is plural.

God will send all kinds of blessings. And all His blessings go together like links in a golden chain. If He gives you saving grace, He will also give you comforting grace. God will send "showers of blessings." Look up today, you who are dried and withered plants. Open your leaves and flowers and receive God's heavenly watering.
--Charles H. Spurgeon

Let but your heart become a valley low,
And God will rain on it till it will overflow.


You, O Lord, can transform my thorn into a flower. And I do want my thorn transformed into a flower. Job received sunshine after the rain, but was the rain all wasted? Job wants to know, and I want to know, if the rain is related to the sunshine. Only You can tell me - Your cross can tell me. You have crowned Your sorrow. Let this be my crown, O Lord. I will only triumph in You once I have learned the radiance of the rain.
--George Matheson

The fruitful life seeks rain as well as sunshine.
​
The landscape, brown and dry beneath the sun,
Needs but the cloud to life it into life;
The dews may dampen the tree and flower,
But it requires the cloud-distilled shower
To bring rich greenness to the lifeless life.
Ah, how like this, the landscape of a life:
Dews of trial fall like incense, rich and sweet;
But meaning little in the crystal tray --
Like moths of night, dews lift at break of day
And fleeting impressions leave, like lips that meet.
But clouds of trials, bearing burdens rare,
Leave in the soul, a moisture settled deep:
Life stirs by the powerful law of God;
And where before the thirsty camel trod,
There richest beauties to life's landscape leap.
Then read you in each cloud that comes to you
The words of Paul, in letters large and clear:
So will those clouds your soul with blessing feed,
And with a constant trust as you do read,
All things together work for good. Fret not, nor fear!
