The Lord's leading

Are you a tired traveler in your spiritual journey? Tired of waiting on God's promises or breakthroughs? Do not become frail, the Lord has predestined this walk in the desert so that you might become a well watered garden and a never failing fountain...

The Word of God says,

Isaiah 58:11 (New International Version)

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.

Remember how a gardener works his garden. His digs the soil in the garden to make it moist with rich soil and water. Later he sows the seeds and waters it for days, until the small sprouts of plants appear. Then it is sheltered from excess sun and sometimes the gardener sprays pesticides. All this process is required for the plant to grow well and yield its fruits and flowers.

Well, it is the same with us friends, sometimes the Lord leads us long in desert paths for our good where we learn to sojourn and depend on Him for provisions and breakthroughs. The Lord is not a tough task master but a gentle Father. We need to realize this, if we are to appreciate His dealings in our life.

We should not complain and grumble but let the Lord lead and guide us at the same time mold and make us...It is for our good...
