Grace and peace to you. Here is the word for today.
📖Isaiah 58:11 (CJB) ADONAI will always guide you; he will satisfy your needs in the desert, he will renew the strength in your limbs; so that you will be like a watered garden, like a spring whose water never fails.📖
↪Another way to stay refreshed in the wilderness or difficult time is ” to figure out where you will get your water” Difficult times, desert times, weary times, dry times can leave any person thirsty. And we can choose to “get our water” or quench our thirst from a number of different sources.
↪Obviously, in difficult time God should be our only primary source. No one and nothing satisfies and refreshes us to the depth that God does. But in His kindness and according to the design of His creation, God gives us room to be human and allows us to be refreshed in several ways.
✅But let’s first see few ways that may seem like they satisfy and refreshes the soul but don’t.:-
☆Working harder – Hard work is good, but working harder to fill an inner void is not healthy.
☆Gaining approval from others – The approval that matters most is from God and a small inner circle.
☆Changing how you measure success – Lowering standards may make you feel better in the short term, but over time, it’s only changed lives that matter.
☆Justifying drift – Pressure can make any leader justify unacceptable actions. Drift from God can lower pressure, but it will not increase peace.
☆Unhealthy diversions – Unhealthy diversions may feel good in the moment but can become addictions and should be avoided at all costs. All these ways seems to be satisfying and refreshing, but they live us still wanting and void.
↪Only ADONAI can refresh and satisfy us. God has made rooms for our thirst to be refreshed, your soul to be satisfied, and your weariness to be lifted through ways such as:-
🔹️The richness of genuine and Godly friendships
🔹️The joy of laughter
🔹️The pleasure of a hobby you enjoy
🔹️The need for physical rest
🔹️The satisfaction of learning and growth spiritually, physically, socially and economically.
↪Again, nothing meets your deepest needs, refreshing you in difficult times like God Himself, but don’t miss out on all that He provides. He said He will satisfy your needs in the desert, He will renew the strength in your limbs; so that you will be like a watered garden, like a spring whose water never fails hallelujah.
🗣I pray that even in this COVID-19 pandemic, ADONAI shall meet your needs according to his riches in glory through Christ Jesus, He will make you strong in your faith and in your walk with Him, you shall be refreshed in all aspects of your life in Jesus Name. AMEN 🙏🙏🙏
