Living Water to a Parched Earth

This Sabbath Sunny and I went with our "Advent Hope Youth Group" to the Coachella Valley Preserve out in the desert, towards Palm Springs. As we drove, it seemed to get more and more desolate and dry. Then all the sudden, we came around this mountain of sand, and there were a bunch of palm trees and a beautiful scenic Oasis in the midst of the wilderness.

Wow!!! It made me think of what God can do in our lives when His spirit (the living water) flows into our parched and thirsty souls!! We can be the most barren and desolate of creatures, with not a spot of color or hope in our lives...and then He comes in with all His life giving power...and there is life!!! Vibrant life! Beautiful life!! Radiant life!!!

"The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing." Isa 35:1-2
