Scripture

Ezekiel 34:26 I will bless them and the places surrounding my hill. I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing.

Observation

As God's blessing falls on His people, it affects those around us, also.

Application

As His children, we have inherent blessings, some unconditional (His love) and some out of obedience. These blessings fall all around us, causing even unbelievers to be affected positively. By being obedient, God can flourish the people with whom we work, bring joy to those we meet, and heal those for whom we pray.

Prayer

Thank you for your blessings, Father, not only on me and my family, but also the ones around us who are showered on. Let all of those who enjoy Your great gifts acknowledge that they come only from You.
