Charles Spurgeon Commentary Isaiah 44:3

"For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and streams upon the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:" — Isaiah 44:3 (ASV)

For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:

Here, O you needy souls, you who thirst after mercy, is a rich promise for you! How abundantly God bestows it! I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground.

Your needs cannot be so great as the divine supply. All the Lord asks is that you should be willing to receive his mercy, willing that your emptiness should be filled out of his fullness.

For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground:

God will never do anything by halves. He will not only send rain, but the waters will pour down from the sky. He will not merely moisten the surface of the dry ground; he will send floods to saturate it.

God is great in giving his grace. Once you reach the region of grace, you have entered the region of plenty, even the riches of God's unspeakable grace. If, dear friends, you currently have no spiritual power, unction, favor, and love, you may have it, for here is the Lord's own promise: I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground.

I will pour my spirit upon your seed, and my blessing upon your offspring:

Is that your great burden—trouble about your boy? Does your dear girl grieve you? Well, He who blesses the father and the mother will bless the children; the God of Abraham is the God of Isaac.

Pray that this promise may be fulfilled to you, that your offspring may get a share of that Spirit of grace which has been given to you.
