Thought 299
Salvation!
“When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue
faileth for thirst, I the Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them. I
will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I
will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.”
Isaiah 41:17-18 KJV
Are you poor and needy? I know that I need to
be, because spiritual hunger, thirst, and need (desperation for the Lord) opens
the door for the Lord to answer me, make the rivers flow, and restore my soul! David had this type of attitude throughout his
Psalms. He cried out to the Lord and was desperate for the Lord’s direction—he
wouldn’t act without it.
Where
are you? Pause and examine yourself, are we desperate for the Lord? If so, you
may want to record how He starts answering you and providing small bits off
refreshment in the desert and on the barren heights. Close this devotional time
by reading Matthew 6:33.
