“For I am like a tree whose roots reach the water, whose branches are refreshed with the dew. New honors are constantly bestowed on me, and my strength is continually renewed.” Job 29:19-20 (NLT)
A number of years ago, I started the process of understanding what it means to be renewed and refreshed. This was such a tremendous, God given gift to me. Oh how I wish I would have stumbled across it much earlier in life.
In Need of a Renewal
You see, so many things weigh us down daily and it becomes difficult to lay our heads down each night. Our circumstances seem impossible and we can’t find the peace we all need in our hearts. It is a weight we can’t carry or bear alone.
A Sweet Reminder
God gifts us so many things daily. One thing I am reminded of is the morning dew. Everyday when I leave for work, I am reminded of the gift of renewal just by looking at the morning dew. Dew is something I normally tried not to touch with my shoes so they don’t get wet. I have heard so many chuckles walking from my car to my classroom as others witness me “high stepping” over the grass trying not get my feet wet from the dew. Morning dew to me now is something I do not want to step over. Today dew is a sweet reminder from God that this is a NEW DAY.
So go ahead people, step on the dew or swing your feet right through it! Let God give you a sweet reminder of his love. Let everyday be a new day and an opportunity for God to walk you through it. Be refreshed through prayer and God’s word just as the branches are refreshed with the morning dew.
