God's Practical Care

Commentators explain that the promise of "rains in their season" was a specific, tangible blessing. It referred to the crucial "former and latter rains" necessary for planting and harvest in the Holy Land. As John Calvin notes, by using natural means like rain, God continually reminds His people of His daily, fatherly care and involvement in their lives.
