Wednesday's Word: Let Showers Of Righteousness Fall

 

"Let fall in showers, you heavens, from above, and let the skies rain
down righteousness, the pure, spiritual, heaven-born possibilities that have
their foundation in the holy being of God; let the earth open, and let them,
skies and earth, sprout forth salvation and let righteousness germinate
and spring up as plants do together, I the Lord have created it."
(Isaiah 45:8)

"There is no God beside Jehovah.  There is nothing done without Him.
He makes peace, put here for all good, and creates evil, not the evil of sin,
but the evil of punishment.  He is the Author of all that is true, holy,
good or happy, and evil, error, and misery came into the world by
His permission through the apostasy of His creatures, but,
 are restrained and overruled to His righteous purpose.

This doctrine is applied for the comfort of those that earnestly longed,
yet, quietly awaited for the redemption of Israel.  The redemption of sinners
by the Son of God, and the pouring out of the Spirit, to give success to the gospel,
 are chiefly here intended.  We must not expect salvation without righteousness;
together the Lord hath created them.

Let not oppressors oppose God's design for His people.  Let not the poor
oppressed murmur as if God dealt unkindly with them.  Men are but earthen pots,
they are broken potsherds, and are very much made so by mutual contentions.
To contend with Him is as senseless as for clay to find fault with the potter.

Let us turn God's promises into prayers, beseeching Him that salvation may 
 abound among us, and let us rest assured that the Judge of all the earth will do right."

-Matthew Henry's Commentary
