"Listen, O heavens, and I will speak!
Hear, O earth, the words that I say!
Let my teaching fall on you like rain;
let my speech settle like dew.
Let my words fall like rain on tender grass,
like gentle showers on young plants."
Deuteronomy 32:1–2
Encouragement for Today
Are there ever times you feel like "tender grass," just planted, spouting up? A heavy rain would beat you down. A gentle rain is just what tender grass and newly transplanted young plants need to thrive. This passage depicts God's Word as being like this kind of rain. For those times when you feel tender and vulnerable, go to God's Word and let it settle like dew in your soul.
