And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the Lord be his land, for the
precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth
beneath. (Deuteronomy 33:13)
We may be rich in such things as Joseph obtained, and we may have them
in a higher sense. Oh, for "the precious things of heaven"!
Power with God and the manifestation of power from God are most
precious. We would enjoy the peace of God, the joy of the Lord, the
glory of our God. The benediction of the three divine Persons in love,
and grace, and fellowship we prize beyond the most fine gold. The
things of earth are as nothing in preciousness compared with the
things in heaven.
"The dew." How precious is this! How we pray and praise when we have
the dew! What refreshing, what growth, what perfume, what life there
is in us when the dew is about. Above all things else, as plants of
the Lord's own right hand planting, we need the dew of His Holy
Spirit.
"The deep that coucheth beneath." Surely this refers to that unseen
ocean underground which supplies all the fresh springs which make glad
the earth. Oh, to tap the eternal fountains! This is an unspeakable
boon; let no believer rest till he possesses it. The all-sufficiency
of Jehovah is ours forever. Let us resort to it now.
