Through the Desert
They did not thirst when he led them through the deserts; he made water flow for them from the rock; he split the rock and water gushed out.
Isaiah 48:21, NIV
Deserts represent hard places in our lives, barren places, difficult seasons that could overwhelm us. When you look back over your life, you can see the times when God gave you water in the desert. At the time you may not have realized it. You were so caught up in the troubles and trying to make it through, you didn’t recognize it was the grace of God giving you the strength, the favor, helping you do what you couldn’t do. It’s good to take time and reflect on the goodness of God.
No matter what you go through—an illness, a divorce, a betrayal—because you’re a child of the Most High God, there’s going to be water in the desert. It’s not going to overwhelm you. It’s not going to be too much. God is going to give you strength that you can’t explain, courage that you didn’t know you had, favor that you didn’t see coming, and the right people at the right time to help. Get ready. When He makes the water flow, you will flourish and blossom in the desert.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You for loving me so much that even when I am in a desert place, You provide me with rivers of water. Thank You that no matter where I go or what I go through, You are always here with me. I believe that You always provide the grace to overcome the difficulties. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
