Showers Come in Season

Scripture:
I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing.
Ezekiel 34:26

Observation:
God speaks about timing and provision. Blessing is not random or forced. It comes in season. There is intention, rhythm, and trust embedded in how God provides growth and fruit.

Application:
I have learned that one of my biggest leadership struggles is letting go of tasks I am good at. Early in building a company, that strength feels responsible. I know the system. I can move faster. I can keep quality high. But over time, holding on quietly becomes a bottleneck.

I remember a season where I was still approving every line of copy and reviewing every customer workflow late at night. The business was growing, revenue was up, but I was exhausted and my team was stuck waiting on me. I told myself I was being diligent. The truth was I was afraid. Afraid that if I released control, something would break and I would be exposed.

Ezekiel reminds me that showers come in season, not all at once and not by my force. Growth requires space. Delegation is not abdication. It is an act of humility. That is the character trait this verse presses into me. Humility says I am not the source of the blessing. God is.

In business, this shows up in systems. If I never document a process because I like being needed, the system cannot mature. If I do not train someone else to lead sales calls or manage cash flow, the company stays dependent on my availability. God’s blessing often follows obedience to healthy order, not heroic effort.

This also applies at home. When I carry everything silently, my wife and kids miss the chance to grow with me. Inviting others into responsibility is uncomfortable, but it is how trust deepens.

I am learning to release tasks in season, not too early and not too late. I ask better questions now. Who else could own this? What would break if I stepped back? What might grow if I let someone else step forward? When I act with humility, I make room for God to send the rain.

Prayer:
Lord, help me trust Your timing.
Give me humility to release control.
Grow what I cannot carry alone.
Send Your blessing in the right season.
Amen.

Build With God,
Bill
