The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of His bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands […]

Deuteronomy 28:12 (NIV)

The land, no matter how fertile, cannot produce a harvest without God’s rain. In the same way, our hands without His blessing will never be able to work hard enough to produce the results we need in life. All of our effort, intellect, and ingenuity can never replace our need for the supernatural power of God. Don’t rely upon your own efforts. Pray for God’s rain upon your land, your needs and your situations. Never attempt anything worthwhile apart from His blessing.
