"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."
(ISAIAH 58:11)

Isaiah 58:10-12
Driving through the central part of my state, California, I can see the difference that water makes on the land. A couple of spring rains can make the hills as green as any in Ireland. But most times of the year, the grass is “sun-scorched” and brown, dry and ready at any moment to burn up. Have you ever felt like that “sun-scorched” land? Our frames are weak; it’s as if we are drying up and fading away. When the dry times come, here is what the Lord is saying to you:


I am always guiding you, whether you perceive the desert around you or the green, well-watered garden. I am there guiding you just the same, nurturing you each day.


I will give you what you need when you are in the desert. I may not make the desert disappear, but I will lead you to the oasis where my eternal spring will satisfy your thirsty soul.


No matter how weak you feel in the desert, my strength will carry you through. As you go obediently forward, I will restore you and make you flourish again.


Come and know Jesus, your Living Water!
