What makes the desert beautiful
is that somewhere it hides a well.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Poetic truth is beautiful;
it leads me to the echo in the Word
that I might go there and sit a while.
These lines remind me today that He is good,
and I can find springs of His goodness where ever I am.
The LORD will guide you continually,
giving you water when you are dry
and restoring your strength.
You will be like an ever-flowing spring.
Isaiah 58:11
His promises are His wells of goodness.
He has given me many words to stand on,
and when I don't know which way to turn,
I go to one of His promises
and I stay there until I am filled with faith.
The parched ground will become a pool,
and springs of water will satisfy the thirsty land.
Isaiah 35:7
Lord, Your presence satisfies where ever I am.
The desert is a beautiful place
because I find You there.
You remind me that I am filled with springs of living water
because I am a carrier of Your presence.
When I feel shallow and empty,
You always lead me into the depths of Your love
and bring peace to my anxious heart.
Your promises are always yes and amen.
I sit at these wells of Your goodness;
I find You here.
