Spring a Divine Visitation
Psalm 65:10
You water the ridges thereof abundantly: you settle the furrows thereof: you make it soft with showers…


See how the characteristics of spring testify to the presence of God. And there is —

I. CHANGE. This tells that God is here, visiting the earth, and that He is at work.

II. LIFE. All really scientific experience tells us that life can be produced from a living antecedent only. All life is from God.

III. BEAUTY.

IV. PROMISE.

(W. W. Sidney.)



Parallel Verses
KJV: Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.

WEB: You drench its furrows. You level its ridges. You soften it with showers. You bless it with a crop.
