Let my teaching drop as the rain

I came across a verse in the Bible that goes with me into the classroom everyday:

"Let my teaching drop as the rain,
My speech distill as the dew,
As raindrops on the tender herb,
And as showers on the grass.
For I proclaim the name of the LORD:
Ascribe greatness to our God."
Deuteronomy 32:1-3

I love the metaphor of children as tender grass and teaching as the dew that falls gently on that grass. I am an agent of Christ's reconciliation to the tender shoots that are growing in my classroom. I strive to be the conduit through which Christ pours out His wisdom into young minds.
