If  I just sit in the desert I will wither and die. That is pretty silly when God is my shelter, my provider, my all. With Him I can walk out of the desert. Even if  the wind is howling and I can't hear a word He is saying.

Desert Life

I was sitting in the sand.

Life wasn't going according to the plan.

I seemed to be getting no where.

I couldn't hear Your voice.

I couldn't make a wise decision or choice.

I thought and felt You didn't care.

Suddenly I dried my eyes.

Now I realize.

You haven't left me at all.

Your just waiting for me.

To come and bend my knee.

And upon Your name to call.

Knowing You as I do.

I can almost hear You.

Saying walk with me in faith and trust.

And I will deliver You from this land of  sand and dust.

I will shelter You from life's heat.

I will provide for you what to drink and eat.

walk with me in faith and trust and I will give you peace so sweet.

Walk with me in faith and trust and all your needs I will meet.

Just do as I have taught you and I will your journey complete.

Don't walk by what you see.

Walk by faith in Me.

Let's Not Do The Limbo

The limbo is a game dance to see how low you can go under a pole held horizontally while keeping to the beat of the music. In my life and the life of my friends the word usually means "I am spinning my wheels going no where." Or sometimes it means everything is up in the air and I don't know which way to turn or what to do."  Also it can be a time of feeling numb and stagnate. But in all these times it's usually "I haven't heard anything from God and I think I am in a desert."  But what would I do if  I were in a plane crash and ended up in a desert? It's kind of the same in my Christian walk as it is in earthly life. I am provided for soaring the heights with God and then suddenly I find myself  in limbo land a sort of dessert. Just like in a plane crash God hasn't left me. As a matter of  fact He is with me all the more! So I may not hear Him in this spiritual dessert it doesn't mean He is not there. Or do I hear Him and not realize it? Isn't there that little voice inside me that says, "don't just sit here in the desert?" Isn't there that same voice saying, "pray, talk to God, seek Him?" Or is that voice really saying, "pray seek Me."? But because I feel alone I don't hear it as His voice. Hasn't His word said He has written His word upon my heart? Doesn't it say that the Holy Spirit would be my helper and comforter? Then Why should I just sit in this desert and wither? I won't I will pray and seek God even if I don't think I hear Him. I will get up each day and do what is in front of me to do. I will live in a Godly manner and walk as a good Christian woman should walk. I will have trust and faith that God will bring me through. I will believe He hears all my prayers and is walking with me all the way. I will believe any thought or deed that is Christ like is an echo of  His words written in my heart. For His words do go forth and do not come back void. So I am not going to do the limbo and moan and complain and see how low my spirit can go. I am going to get up and in faith walk with God out of this desert. He won't let me die. He will be my shelter from the heat. He will provide all I need. If  obey His commands and walk in faith.

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about it's own things. Sufficient for the day is it's own trouble. Matthew 6:34, Look the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Matthew 6:26, For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7
