names of God: rain upon mown grass

names of God: rain upon mown grass by ric gustafson


Psalm 72:6- ' He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass


This term refers to God the Son. The phrase rain upon mown grass refers to a natural life giving event. This phrase also means a cycle of life, death and rebirth. King David was advanced in years when he wrote these words. He was recalling the trials put before him and rejoicing that God always raised him up again. Our lives are like grass, we grow and then are cut down in season. Jesus Christ is the gentle rain that brings us back to vibrant life again.
