O God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, Selah the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain, before God, the One of Sinai, before God, the God of Israel. Rain in abundance, O God, you shed abroad; you restored your inheritance as it languished; your flock found a dwelling in it; in your goodness, O God, you provided for the needy.

How often, Lord, do we not recognize the abundance of rain as an outpouring of Your love for the sheep of Your pasture. We complain when faced with a rainy day in stead of rejoicing in Your great blessing.
