“May my teaching trickle like rain, my speech distill like dew – like gentle rain on new grass, like showers on tender plants.” Deuteronomy 32:2, Tree of Life Version The words of Torah flow like rain in varying gradations. The words of G’d drop like dew, gently imparting their messages to those who listen. For the renewal of the mind is dependent upon the wisdom acquired through Torah and the truth of His word. “Does not wisdom cry out, and understanding lift her voice?” (Proverbs 8:1, TLV). Of the Word, it is written, “AD’NAI brought me forth, the first of His way, before His works of old. From eternity I was appointed from the beginning, before the world began. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water” (Proverbs 8:22-24, TLV). “For as the rain and snow come down from heaven, and do not return there without having watered the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to sow and bread to eat, so My word will be that goes out from My mouth. It will not return to Me in vain, but will accomplish what I intend, and will succeed in what I sent it for.” Isaiah 55:10-11, Tree of Life Version The L’RD’s word has a purpose to fulfill; His teachings have a mission to accomplish, so that we might live by His wisdom. Moreover, “the fear of AD’NAI is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of Holy One is understanding” (Proverbs 9:10, TLV). The awe that we have towards the L’RD is a necessary requirement to attain His wisdom. The respect that we have of Him, helps to render the tender shoots of wisdom to grow. His wisdom has been in existence since the beginning in the form of the Word, as written elsewhere, “In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with G’d, and the Word was G’d” (Johnn 1:1, TLV). Inasmuch that the Word was part of the nature of G’d, and came forth from G’d. “And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. We looked upon His glory, the glory of the one and only from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14, Tree of Life Version
