Ein Gedi’s streams in the desert, where David hid from Saul.
THE WATER BROOKS OF GOD ~
As the hart pants and longs for the water brooks,
so I pant and long for You, O God.
My inner self thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and behold the face of God?
Psalm 42: 1-2
There are many times in life when we find ourselves in a place where it’s dry and barren. We long and crave for the water brooks of God – just to have our dry, parched lips moistened with the living water. As if in a desert longing to find some cool, refreshing water, we long to quench our thirst by drinking deeply from it.
It’s in these times when God does come and refresh us. And by this refreshing, there comes a growth. But often we need to be in this place of desperation before we can truly hunger and thirst after God – and cry out to Him with all our hearts.
We don’t have the same desperation when we’re happily going through life, so God allows these desert time experiences that causes us to pant, crave and long for the water brooks of God. If you need refreshing today, come to Him and drink deeply, and you will be satisfied.
In the desert times of life
receive the water that satisfies.
~By M.S.Lowndes
There are times in our lives
The Lord may lead us through
A lifeless, barren desert
A time of testing too
But desert times can be
A place of special growth
Where God can do a work
And let His healing flow
I know that in these times
We don’t feel God is there
We feel so very distant
And lost without His care
But God is there beside you
To bring you to a place
Of cool refreshing waters
Flowing with His grace
But for the present moment
You maybe in a drought
Don’t give up on your faith
And don’t you start to doubt
God is always faithful
And He will walk with you
Through the darkest moments
He’ll be leading you
~ M.S.Lowndes
I long again to be refreshed
With your life-giving waters, Lord.
Flow down on me refreshing streams
So that I may be restored.
…when the times of refreshing
shall come from the presence of the Lord.
Acts 3:19b
Just to let you know, I’ll be back tomorrow to catch you up on my weekend,
but I can say that my mother-in-law, Betty, seems to be doing much better!
She says ‘thank you’ for all of your thoughts and prayers!
I’ll also be around to catch up with you tomorrow!
Have a blessed Tuesday!
