This imagery is used to convey the idea of God's word or teachings permeating the hearts and minds of His people, bringing nourishment and growth.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/deuteronomy/32-2.htm">Deuteronomy 32:2</a> :</b> "Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants." In this verse, Moses uses the metaphor of rain and dew to describe the way God's teachings should gently and thoroughly penetrate the lives of the Israelites. The imagery suggests a nurturing and life-giving process, emphasizing the importance of receiving and absorbing divine wisdom.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/job/36-27.htm">Job 36:27-28</a> :</b> "For He draws up drops of water which distill the rain from the mist, which the clouds pour down and shower abundantly on mankind." Here, Elihu speaks of God's control over the natural processes, illustrating His sovereignty and the way He provides for creation. The distillation of rain from mist signifies the transformation and purification that occurs under God's command, symbolizing His ability to bring clarity and sustenance.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/proverbs/3-20.htm">Proverbs 3:20</a> :</b> "By His knowledge the watery depths were broken open, and the clouds drip with dew." This verse highlights the wisdom and understanding of God in orchestrating the natural world. The dripping of dew from the clouds is a gentle and consistent process, reflecting the steady and reliable nature of God's provision and guidance.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>The concept of "distils" in Scripture underscores the gentle yet powerful influence of God's word and presence in the lives of believers. Just as dew and rain are essential for the growth and sustenance of plants, so too is the word of God vital for spiritual nourishment and development. This imagery serves as a reminder of the need for believers to remain open and receptive to divine instruction, allowing it to permeate their lives and produce spiritual fruit.<br><br>Furthermore, the process of distillation, as seen in the natural world, can be viewed as a metaphor for the purification and refinement that occurs in the believer's life through the work of the Holy Spirit. As God's word distills into the heart, it purifies and transforms, leading to a deeper understanding and closer relationship with the Creator.<br><br>In summary, the biblical use of "distils" conveys the gentle, persistent, and life-giving nature of God's word and presence, encouraging believers to embrace and internalize His teachings for spiritual growth and maturity.<a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/gordon/quiet_talks_on_power/fresh_supplies_of_power.htm"><span class="l">Fresh Supplies of Power.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Its power to purify and revitalize is peculiar and remarkable.
