Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
If you were walking on a trail in the middle of the night without a flashlight, you probably wouldn’t get very far. But even a small light can help you see the next step. And that’s often how God works. He doesn’t always show us the whole path at once. He simply gives us enough light to see the next step.

John 1:5
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
When you shine a flashlight into a dark room, you realize pretty quickly what light does, it illuminates what was hidden. And in the same way, Jesus came to shine light into the dark, hidden places of our hearts. Because sunlight can brighten the world around us, but only Jesus can truly bring light to illuminate what’s on the inside of us.

Hosea 10:12
Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and rain righteousness upon you.
It was time to be obedient. Time to repent and do the things that God had called His people to do. And as Israel chose to seek the LORD and follow Him, He promised to bring His goodness to the places that once felt dry. And as they planted righteousness, God would be faithful to bring the harvest.

Deuteronomy 32:2
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.
Moses wanted to share a song of God’s faithfulness. His hope was that what he had spent years teaching them would not just be heard but would stay with them long after they entered the Promised Land. That it would soak up into their hearts like the dew upon the grass soaks into the earth.

Joel 2:23
Be glad, O children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God, for he has given the early rain for your vindication; he has poured down for you abundant rain, the early and the latter rain, as before.
If rain is being promised to the children of Israel, it is a sign that God was restoring that which was lost. And not in small measure, but in abundance, just as He had done before. Which means, the blessing of God would be upon His people once again.

Isaiah 44:3
For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.
God’s promise for restoration and return! Israel faced judgment from God because of their disobedience. But just like any good father, discipline doesn’t last forever. And God was going to bring Israel back to their land and overwhelm them with many good things.
