Lord, Make Us Like the Dew!
The remnant of Jacob will be in the midst of many peoples, like dew from the Lord, like showers on the grass, that don't wait for man, nor wait for the sons of men. — Micah 5:7
I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase. — 1 Corinthians 3:6

Summary: If literal Israel can be a blessing, how much more should God’s believing people be a blessing to those around them. When we are what we ought to be, we quietly refresh others like the dew: we care for the weak and contribute to their life, growth, and joy. Though each of us is small, together we can fulfill the Lord’s purposes of love. Like rain sent by God, we should serve him with courage and freedom wherever it falls to us, without depending on human permission. Lord, make us like the dew!
If this is true of literal Israel, how much more is it true of spiritual Israel, of God’s believing people. When the saints are what they ought to be, they are an incalculable blessing to those among whom they are scattered.
They are like the dew, for in a quiet and unobtrusive way they refresh those around them. Silently but effectively, they minister to the life, growth, and joy of those who dwell with them. Fallen fresh from heaven, sparkling like diamonds in the sun, gracious men and women tend to the weak and the insignificant until every blade of grass has its own portion of dew. Small as individuals, together they are fully sufficient for the purposes of love that the Lord accomplishes through them. Drops of dew manage to refresh vast acres. Lord, make us like the dew!
Godly people are like showers that come at God’s command, without license or authorization from men. They work for God whether men wish it or not; they no more ask for human permission than the rain does. Lord, make us courageously willing and free in Your service wherever our portion has been assigned.
