The Desert

Psalm 107:35 He turned the desert into pools of water and the parched ground into flowing springs

We were parched and almost dizzy from the heat of the Kuwaiti sun. A desert like none other I’d been in. Sand stuck to the lips and the only evidence of perspiration was the salt stains on our DCUs. That was one dry hot place. The first sermon preached in Kuwait drew the contrast between the dryness of the desert and the springs of spiritual water God has to offer us in Christ. I promised all those who would seek God in that desolate place would find His blessing in their lives like pools of water. And indeed God is faithful to His Word. My time in the desert was one of the most spiritually rewarding times of my life. Are you going through a spiritual desert right now? Continue to seek Him and you will be led to streams of living water. SP165
