Nearly everyone wants God to bless them. That is why Christian hymns such as «There Shall Be Showers of Blessing» are so well-known. This same promise of God is also based on a specific Bible verse, Ezekiel 34:26. The purpose of this book, There Will Be Showers of Blessing, is to explore God's promise of showers of blessing in its biblical setting and to apply God's promises to his people in the twenty-first century. By doing so, the reader will learn about four specific blessings that God, as the Shepherd of his people, wants to give to those who trust in his love and power. And, once we are all wet and overwhelmed by God's blessings, Christians will discover that they are to extend those four blessings to the people around them. This book also describes the nature of a blessing so people will understand why God's blessings are so special and miraculous.

Other Things Can be Blessed
From the Old Testament, we learn that things other than people could also be blessed. Moses told the people of Israel the Lord would bless them in many ways, which included childbirth among their wives. Moses also promised the people that the Lord would bless their possessions they owned including their land, crops and livestock. Their possessions represented the Lord’s blessings of provision and prosperity. (See Deuteronomy 28:1–8.)
