God uses some really great word pictures in His Word, the Holy Scriptures. Hosea 14:5 is one of them. “I will be like the dew to [my people], Israel.” Have you considered God’s reasoning for this statement?

Where does dew come from? Does it rise from the ground in the night? Does it fall from the sky? Why does it appear some mornings and not others?

Dew neither rises from the ground or falls from the sky. Dew only appears when certain climatic conditions align. As temperatures drop overnight, moisture in the air condenses and adheres to cooler surfaces like grass. Dew never appears on hard, heat-keeping surfaces as concrete or blacktop.

God ‘s word says He will be like the dew to His people. When the conditions of your heart are right, God does not fall on you, God does not rise to meet you. God mystically appears not rising or falling, but He is there. When our hearts are right with God and with man according to scripture, God manifests Himself to guide us and keep us on His track.

Do not be like concrete or asphalt where God cannot manifest a good work in you. Align your heart, mind, and soul so He can adhere to you as the dew to blades of grass. This is where God begins to work in and through you manifesting His power and love.

Yes, God is like the dew to his people!
