The dew of Hermon

Daily Light Devotions - July 19 - Evening

The dew of Hermon.

It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the LORD has commanded the blessing, life forevermore. 1 

from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, as far as Mount Sirion (that is, Hermon), 2 

It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the LORD has commanded the blessing, life forevermore. 3 

I will be like the dew to Israel; he shall blossom like the lily; he shall take root like the trees of Lebanon; 4 

May my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distill as the dew, like gentle rain upon the tender grass, and like showers upon the herb. 5 

"For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it. 6 

For he whom God has sent utters the words of God, for he gives the Spirit without measure. 7 

For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. 8 

It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes! 9
