our friends in texas have been experiencing serious drought this summer...to the point of cancelling the annual fourth of july fireworks. drought = lack of celebration.
meanwhile, here on the east coast we've had an unbelievable forecast of rain, rain and MORE rain...to the point of cancelling the annual fourth of july fireworks. lack of drought also = lack of celebration. LOL.
seems that we were destined, this year, to not have the opportunity to experience the thrill, the joy, the tradition of gathering with our family and sending up our collective ooooohs & aaaaahs.
what is UP with all the extremes? what is UP with all the change? can we not just have a happy medium?
the same could be said of the seasons of my soul. it seems that there IS no middle ground.
Isaiah 58:11 (NIV):
'the Lord will guide you always. he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. you will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.'
king james version says 'and make fat thy bones.' (um, thanks but i'll stick with the NIV on this one, thank you very much :)
today my prayer for myself...for my friends and family...is that we would each learn to trust that in seasons of drought AND in seasons of abundance of rain that the Lord is guiding us and he WILL satisfy our needs.
thank you Lord that you have proven this time and time and time again in my life. may we continue to trust you on the journey.
may we continue to grow...even in the dry places.
XERARCH (english. adjective.):
1. of or pertaining to xerosere. (that's helpful, is it not? LOL).
2. growing in dry places.
