Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder
Be With Me is a daily 7 minute chronological walk through the New Testament hosted by Michael Smith. It is for everyone who is curious about what Jesus actually said and did in the gospels. Most episodes will leave you with at least one good thought to chew on for the rest of the day. We start with the Bible and hopefully end with Awe. We are walking through the chronological events of Jesus' life and then thoughtfully considering them. It is meant to spur the devotional life of the Christian and the not-yet-Christian. We occasionally venture into the Old Testament when it helps our understanding of the New Testament events. Everybody has 7 minutes. Everybody needs to wonder. Be With Me is hosted by Michael Smith who has absolutely no special qualifications to do a podcast. He is not a pastor. He has not been to seminary. He does not lead a mega-church. He is not a professional and he has no more credentials than you do. He does, however, follow a great God with an observant eye and a curious heart. Each day, he starts with a study bible and aims for astonishment. ‘be with him’ for 7 minutes as he sets out daily to discover the God who invites us to ‘Be With Me.’
Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder
Jumping on your bed in the “dew of your youth” s30e117 Ps110
First you may ask, "What does the DEW OF YOUTH look like"? You will have to talk to my favorite 2 ½ year old. He'll most clearly show you what it means by jumping on his bed for 1 ½ hours straight.
Good for him, and good for us too. For this is the vigor and strength that the Lord promises to renew for us in the "womb of the morning".
Join me as we admire the dew of youth that we might enjoy again if we join God's team. subscribe if you don't currently have the dew of youth:

Jumping on your bed in the “dew of your youth” s30e117 Ps110
v.3 from the womb of the morning,
the dew of your youth will be yours.
I want you to JUMP on your bed, with the dew of your youth, in the womb of every morning.
Start with a little story. WHAT DOES THE DEW OF YOUTH look like?
This week, I went to play with my favorite 2 ½ year old, thinking we’d do some sedate adult activity, build something, read books or something. But no! I walked in the door, and he said, “we’re going to do some JUMPING” and then for the next 1.5 hours, with very few interruptions, jumped on the bed. This, ladies and gentlemen is the best picture of the DEW OF YOUTH that I can give you. THE DEW OF YOUTH LOOKS LIKE JUMPING ON A BED FOR 1.5 HOURS STRAIGHT. Honestly, even watching such energy was exhausting. I had to sit down, just to be in awe of its durationa and power. I want you toRembmer this picture why?
The Lord says, that He can and will restore the Dew of Youth to us on the day of His power. Spiritually, we get this back. We get the fountain of spiritual youth. We get the DEW of youth, renewed every morning. This is something that He generously, bountifully gives us. Sit at My Right Hand
110 A Psalm of David.
1 The Lord says to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand,
until I make your enemies your footstool.”
2 The Lord sends forth from Zion
your mighty scepter.
Rule in the midst of your enemies!
3 Your people will offer themselves freely
on the day of your power,
in holy garments;
from the womb of the morning,
the dew of your youth will be yours.
4 The Lord has sworn
and will not change his mind,
“You are a priest forever
after the order of Melchizedek.”
5 The Lord is at your right hand;
he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.
6 He will execute judgment among the nations,
filling them with corpses;
he will shatter chiefs
over the wide earth.
7 He will drink from the brook by the way;
therefore he will lift up his head.
Today’s psalm is one that describes a certain day:
On the day of His wrath
On the day of His power
On the day His mighty scepter is sent forth and enemies are ruled over
It is the day when rebellious kings are shattered
It is the day when judgment and justice are achieved among the nations
Conclusion
Make no mistake, though we wait: active spiritual, anticipation
We will not be waiting for all days. There is a day of recompense. There is a day of wrath—
May you say with me: Lord, I LOVE your wrath! The day when you make all things right. When perfect justice is enacted over ever acre.
When evenhandedness is exerted with the right hand of the conquereringking
This is a psalm of prophesy, power, judgment, future reign.
But for today: ask: What happens in the meantime? What happens to the people? They are blessed with the DEW OF YOUTH.
I want you to be left with the dew of your youth every morning
from the womb of the morning,
the dew of your youth will be yours.
AS THE ESV NOTES SAY The “womb of the morning” is probably a poetic expression for the east, or for the dawn(which is when the dew appears). The “dew of your youth” may be a poetic term for refreshment, implying that the king has continual sources of fresh energy;
May you, at this time, at the womb of the morning
Have the spiritual DEW OF YOUTH upon you. May you be refreshed in Him. May you have the beauty and vigor of renewed youth. Like jumping on the bed.
Similarly: Lam 3: 22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
May you have the every day, everlasting gobstopper renewal of the dew of youth upon you.
Here is what I am saying. God is going to give us the dew of youth.
Back to my picture of jumping on the bed: God is refreshing us, on a dailybasis, in the womb of the morning, again and again.
He is giving us unlimited, revitalized, invigorated, recharged energy and enthusiasm for HIM and HIS WAYS.
With the energy, that my favorite 2 year old, jumped on his bed for 1/1/2 hours straight.
My prayer for you is that you would have the DEW OF YOUTH upon you; when? In the womb of the morning. In the womb of every morning.
That’s right: I want you to jump on your spiritual bed every morning and for all day and for all time
I want you to JUMP on your bed, with the dew of your youth, in the womb of every morning.
