Then Sings My Soul Saturdays - Grace Like Rain

*Please scroll down and disable my blog music before playing the video*

This week I have been thinking a great deal about God's grace. My Bible study has been diving into Ezekiel and the last few weeks we have reached the *your chances are all gone* chapters. God is now telling Ezekiel how He is going to destroy one nation after another because of their mockery of Him. He has already been telling Israel about their punishment and now He has moved into talking about those who cheered as Israel suffered. This week - Edom.

For as horrific as these people were to the Israelites, my heart just aches reading about their destruction. I ache for their pride and their jealousy - and their inability to see past it. How much God loves us and wishes to share His blessings with us and how often people choose to defile His name, reject His offer. How great a gift His grace is.

People can be so blind, so... well... not smart sometimes. I am truly grateful I live after Christ's sacrifice and am able to have such an amazing gift. If only those who can't see could see, feel and know how God's grace falls like rain. And believe.

Great song and great words. When I was young, I used to think the Israelites were so dense. Then I realized I am just like them. How thankful I am for God's grace!
