37. Men work when God works. His blessing encourages the sower, cheers the
planter, and rewards the laborer. Not only necessaries but luxuries are
enjoyed, wine as well as corn, when the heavens are caused to yield the needed
rain to fill the watercourses. Divine visitations bring great spiritual riches,
foster varied works of faith and labors of love, and cause every good fruit to
abound to our comfort and to God’s praise. When God sends the blessing it does
not supersede, but encourages and develops human exertion. Paul plants, Apollos
waters, and God gives the increase.
