Dew Filled

On my walk the other day, God gave me such a beautiful picture of His Grace. It was a still morning, the clouds were low, not even a sparrow chirp could be heard. There was a blanket of dew over everything, like it had been quietly pulled over us as we slept. On the street where I was walking, it was a little different. The trees that had their branches stretched over the road had caught all the dew, so there were dry patches along the way and the rest of the road was damp from the dew. Oh, the gift of another “life” picture from God.

In that moment, God reminded me that we are His trees ~ His people He plants here to grow and serve each other. And oh how much better, how much more beautiful our days are when we stretch out our branches, our souls, to receive His Strength and Grace that He reigns over us like the morning dew. 

This world is His creation. His mercies are new every morning. His love lays out like a blanket over each of our days. Those things are not in question, as we see Him pour out His Grace over His children everyday. Our choice however, our question for ourselves everyday should be, “Where are our branches?”

Often times I think we get caught up in life and focus on the dry patches in the road not realizing their true significance. We forget that God allows us to choose to live with our heart and soul stretched out, open and ready to receive His Grace ⇐ actively looking for Him in each moment…..or not.

The Truth I saw on my walk was plain ~ When we live closed in, with our own plans, we allow His Grace to dampen an empty road.

Let my teaching fall on you like raindrops; let what I say collect like the dew, Like rain sprinkling the grass, like showers on the green plants.
