Deuteronomy 32:2
Let my teaching fall like rain
and my words descend like dew,
like showers on new grass,
like abundant rain on tender plants.

One of the Lord's most beautiful gifts to the earth is dew.
Some characteristics of dew:
1. It provides gentle nourishment, refreshment, renewal.
2. Without dew, dryness and desolation can set in,
greatly inhibiting the growth process.
3. Dew, though only a fine mist, is often enough to soften hard
and otherwise barren ground.
4. Dew is released when all is still, calm, when the air is at rest.
5. Dew doesn't gather where there is heat or wind.
6. Like the rain, dew was regarded in biblical times as
Gods gift, favor, bringing good harvest and providing food.
7. Dew doesn't last -- as soon as the new morning breaks it
evaporates.

Dew is a sign of God's provision and favor as we follow His lead, provided in stillness.
May we each 'be still' and 'soak in' the dew of heaven.
Genesis 27:28
