Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 68:9

1. God's mercy compared to a shower.

(a) It is direct from heaven; not through priests.

(b) It is pure and unmixed.

(c) No one has a monopoly of it.

(d) There is no substitute for it.

(e) It is sovereignly dispensed, as to (1) time; (2) place; (3) manner; and (4) measure.

(f) It works efficiently. Isa 55:10.

(g) Prayer can get it.

2. There are seasons when these showers fall.

(a) In the house of God.

(b) In the means of grace.

(c) In prayer.

(d) In affliction.

(e) When saints are weary (1) through working; (2) through sickness; (3) through non success.

(f) By the Holy Spirit refreshing the heart.

3. These showers are meant to "confirm God's people."

4. They are wanted now.
