I think this means he can use the same item or circumstance as both discipline and/or blessing. The intention is determined by the condition of my heart.
In my everyday life I want to be tuned in to what types of clouds/items/circumstances God is placing in my day and tuned in to his intent. If I check my own heart - my obedience or lack thereof - then I should be able to determine whether he intends something to be a blessing (a means of showing his love)or if he intends to use it to open my eyes to some disobedient place in me.
I am so grateful for God's grace to show me my own heart - even when there is ugliness, disobedience; some sin there that I don't want to look at but I need to see... need to let him redeem and reshape. I'm so thankful for clouds that bring rain to discipline me and for clouds that bring rain to bless my life with growing seasons.
