God, you are my God.
I search for you.
I thirst for you like someone
in a dry, empty land
where there is no water.
Psalm 63:1
Last week the word was "filled" -- How can we be filled with the rush of the Holy Spirit?
Today the word is "empty."
We've asked to be filled, but since then, life has gotten in the way. At least that's true for me. I'm surely not empty, but a little water has evaporated from the watering can. Do you ever feel like that? Are there ever days that feel like a dry and dusty desert and your heart feels parched?
In a journey across a desert we hope that we might happen across a fruitful oasis. In the journey of faith and life, we have the ability to make an oasis suddenly appear. Generally it just takes time and attention. If we slow down the busyness and reprioritize God and faith, we are likely to suddenly find ourselves beneath streams of living water.
On the days when you're feeling evaporated and empty, reach out your hands, asking God for splash of refreshing water.
In Christ's Love,
an oasis maker
