Desert or streams of living water ......
We finished our 13 week study in Griefshare last night...I was sooooo very blessed by people that God sent, their lives, our growth, our conversations, the connections...every week was a growth time...
We are not finished with grieving, but everyone is moving forward "from mourning to joy" as the title insists...
From death to life, moving forward into new normals, new seasons....never forgetting our loved ones, but becoming emotionally healthy in our lives...looking to God for His direction, His peace...
We each have choices to make: bitter or better, deserts or streams, trust or distrust, and so many more....
And the timing is right...do we have a dead god or a resurrected Savior, this Easter season? Do we live in the parched land of unbelief or the lush fertile valley of trust and life giving water with an eternal Creator? Do we shrivel up and exist or bear fruit? Whose are we? And whom do we follow?
Thank YOU for Your timing in our lives...help us to live in that trust, in that living water...moving forward toward new normals, new lives in Christ ...finding new purpose, new normals...as You direct....
That person will be like a bush in the wastelands; they will not see prosperity when it comes.They will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives.
“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”
Psalm 1:1-3 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.
