Rivers in the Desert

January 5, 2009

I am clinging to these verses with all my might as I search for my river in this desert.

Isaiah 43:18-20 (New American Standard Bible)
18″Do not call to mind the former things,

Or ponder things of the past.

19″Behold, I will do something new,

Now it will spring forth;

Will you not be aware of it?

I will even make a roadway in the wilderness,

Rivers in the desert.

Ah Beth– you found a true nugget in the Scriptures to cling to.. it’s a good one! It speaks of promises even when the desert is all we see. Life again, fullness again, nurturance and sustenance again…. these are yours…. they are YOURS. All my love…

I’m so glad that God’s shown you a verse to cling to. His Word truly is a “lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path.” The lamp illuminates only the next step or two we need to take. The light shows us the future twists/turns on our path. Sometimes all we can do is trust Him and place one foot in front of the other. Keep walking, even if it’s slowly and with much hesitancy, and He’ll be faithful to take you to the “roadway in the wilderness” so you can be refreshed by the “river.”
