The Drought

Written on July 13
Going through this drought is like the earth outside. It's dry and dead and that is how I feel inside. I want to change this feeling or do I? I'm not sure anymore. Just light it on fire, at least then something will be happening and moving. This feeling only gets cultivated if there are thoughts to provoke it. So with that logic it's my own doing for putting myself there. Letting myself be isolated.


On days like today I have a hard time seeing the truth. The truth of who actually sees me as important. I know Jesus does.

I have been thinking about editing this and I know my feelings are different from the above statements. There is song that I recently heard, but am unable to find at this time, about how through the deserts there is joy and growth. If I find it I will post it up here. It talks about water and how the deserts aren't a bad thing, but a wonderful thing to experience.

{I found the song, it's titled, "You Revive Me." The lyrics that stood out to me were, "You revive me, you revive me Lord, and all my deserts are rivers of joy." What profound power in those lyrics...it makes me happy to see a different viewpoint put on the word, desert, and how a desert can make you feel. Love it!}


Throughout this lack of rainfall, it makes me think about how God cares for us. He provides us with what we need, shelter, food, clothing, a job. All good things to be thankful for.


I am reminded by this simple promise, that He cares for the birds of the air. Through this drought, He keeps all the birds fed, somehow. It is quite a mystery, isn't it? It gives me hope that He will take care of us too.

If you are interested in reading the passage that this true life example came from, it's in Matthew 6: 25-34.


I am still learning to give things to God and how much easier life is when we do give it to Him. 


Have a great day! :)
