A way in the wilderness Posted on October 22October 5 This desert road seems endless, Lordbut in Your mercy You reminded me“I will make you a way in the wilderness,a river in the desert.” I was sitting in the veldDry, arid, filled with rocks,sun beating down andYou said“See how I make the desert bloom”.And I looked up and saw …a flower growing out of a rock,little green plants andlizards scuttlingPink winged insectsand a thorn rimmed cactusA vivid orange butterflyEagles circling in the sky.A variety of textures, colours and soundsParadise unlocked for meJust by seeing differently! Lord, help meTo see past helplessness and despairand see instead Your world, Your lifeYour kingdom, Your realmEternity. October 5
