Vidya's Hymn of theWeek
My name is Vidya from St Catherines.
I would like to reflect on the hymn Showers of Blessings
which is my all all time favourite since childhood and i always add this hymn when we say family prayers and get togethers.
There shall be showers of blessing
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Saviour above.
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Saviour above.
Vidya:
When some things go wrong take a moment to be thankful for the many things that are going right.
Thank you lord all the blessings you have already showered upon us.
Thank you lord all the blessings you have already showered upon us.
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need;
Mercy drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
Showers of blessing we need;
Mercy drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. (Hosea 10:12)
And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. (John 1:16)
Vidya:
Thank you lord for all your blessings upon us during this pandemic.
The Bible promises that the Lord will rain righteousness down for those that sow righteousness. For those that seek the Lord. I believe God is constantly raining drops of mercy around us. We should be looking for those drops of mercy. To be thankful for the little things God does in our lives everyday. Those little brief showers of His grace and mercy that remind us of how good our God is, and they should take us to a place of praise and thankfulness.
Thank you lord for all your blessings upon us during this pandemic.
There shall be showers of blessing
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.
And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing. (Ezekiel 34:26)
There shall be showers of blessing
Send them upon us, O Lord;
Grant to us now a refreshing;
Come, and now honor Thy word.
Send them upon us, O Lord;
Grant to us now a refreshing;
Come, and now honor Thy word.
For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. ( Hebrews 10:36)
Vidya:
Prayer is a blessing! Begin to bring order out of the chaos in your life by first believing that God hears you when you call on Him.There shall be showers of blessing
O that today they might fall,
Now as to God were confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!
O that today they might fall,
Now as to God were confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (John 1:9)
You do not have, because you do not ask God. James 4:2
Vidya:
Lord forgive our sins.
People will continue to search for happiness in every generation until they find their rest in God alone. How differently would your everyday life be if you developed the habit of calling on God for help at the first sign of frustration?Love, peace, and joy are blessings that come from the Spirit of God and do not depend on your circumstances. God’s spiritual blessings are the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit that comes when you trust in the Lord and surrender yourself to His sovereign will. Choose faith in God and cooperate with Him, rather than being consumed by events beyond your control.
Trust that God is in control and His plans for you are perfect.
Trust that God is in control and His plans for you are perfect.
Take time to make time for the One who made Time
