"YOU water the land and care for it,
enriching it with natural resources,
GOD's stream is filled with water;
so, YOU prepare the earth
to give us its fruits.
YOU drench the furrows in the land
and level the ridges;
YOU soften the soil with showers
and bless its crops.
YOU crown the year with YOUR goodness;
abundance flows everywhere.
The deserts have become pastureland,
the hills are clothed with gladness;"
- Psalm 65:10. 11. 12-13
(This material abundance makes us think of another kind and for which GOD assured HIS friends. The Church also knows about spring rains, the summer harvest and songs of happiness. That should not make us forget that GOD is at work through seasons and rainfall. If the majority of Christians and Church communities no longer dare to ask GOD for the weather needed for harvest, that is not a proof that our faith is now more spiritual but that we unfortunately feel at ease with a helpless GOD.)
