Thou crownest the year with thy goodness;
and thy paths drop fatness.
Psalm 65:11
"All the year round, every hour of every day, God is richly blessing us;
both when we sleep
and when we wake,
His mercy waits upon us.
......Like a river His lovingkindness is always
flowing, with a fulness inexhaustible as His own nature, which is its
source.
---Like the atmosphere which always surrounds the earth, and is
always ready to support the life of man, the benevolence of God
surrounds all His creatures; in it, as in their element they live, and
move, and have their being.
Yet as the sun on summer days appears to
gladden us with beams more warm and bright than at other times, and as
rivers are at certain seasons swollen with the rain, and as the
atmosphere itself on occasions is fraught with more fresh, more bracing,
or more balmy influences than heretofore, so is it with the mercy of
God: it hath its golden hours, its days of overflow, when the Lord
magnifieth His grace and lifteth high His love before the sons of men."
Charles Spurgeon
