God's Provision - Favor
Numbers 11:7-9 The manna was like coriander seed and looked like resin. The people went around gathering it, and then ground it in a handmill or crushed it in a mortar. They cooked it in a pot or made it into cakes. And it tasted like something made with olive oil. When the dew settled on the camp at night, the manna also came down.
Proverbs 19:12 A king's rage is like the roar of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
Like the rain, dew was regarded in biblical times as Gods gift bringing good harvest and providing food.
As the Israelites wandered in the wilderness, we find that God supplied their needs each night as the dew fell. Dew like manna, doesn't last - as soon as the new morning breaks it evaporates. Dew like manna, came to symbolize supply and provision, the Lord's favor, new every morning.
As we follow the Lords leading, His dew will also rain down new supply and provision, favor, in our lives, just as it did for the children of Israel.
Lamentations 3:22-23 Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
___________
Genisis 27:28 May God give you of heaven's dew and of earth's richness an abundance of grain and new wine.
Psalm 90:17 May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us ...
