Rains of Blessing
The successful growth of Israel's crops, such as the wheat field pictured above, is a blessing from God, as it is He who Israel is dependent on to nourish the land. Israel does not have an independent body of water capable of sufficient irrigation. Rain can be a source of great blessing, but at the wrong times, or in the wrong amount, rain can also be a devastating curse.
