The man who will always be “Pastor” to me, has been one of the most spiritually influential people in my life. PR once told me over 20 years ago, if I was every weary in ministry, if I ever had doubt or needed direction, to go back to when God called me.
That’s where I am. Reading one of my favorite passages in Isaiah.
But if I read a little farther to 41:18. It’s there where I remember the power and love of God.
He is the God who can make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys.
He is the God who can turn desserts into pools of water, and the parched ground into springs.
Read vs 17 before this.
They were poor and searching for water. They were parched with thirst
But…
“But I the Lord will answer them;I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.”
