## Resource

My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: (Deuteronomy 32:2) ~~~~ This service was taken at Milward House Pilgrim Home in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. ~~~~ *1/ My doctrine - The Gospel. 2/ How it shall come - drop as the rain and distil as the dew. 3/ Upon what it shall come - The tender herb and the grass.* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon explores the metaphor of divine doctrine falling like gentle rain and dew, drawing primarily from Deuteronomy 32:2 and Psalm 72. It emphasizes that the gospel comes not with loud fanfare but as a soft, penetrating influence from heaven, akin to the still small voice of God. The preacher highlights the necessity for believers to be spiritually tender and attentive, like grass receiving moisture, rather than relying on worldly strength or wisdom. This approach ensures that the good news of Jesus Christ takes root deeply in the heart, bringing life and peace to the needy. The message encourages a posture of quiet receptivity to allow the gospel to transform the soul effectively.
