10-08-07 Isaiah 41:18

Isaiah 41:18 (NAS)
I will open rivers on the bare heights, And springs in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, And the dry land fountains of water.

Isaiah 41:18 (NLT)
I will open up rivers for them on high plateaus. I will give them fountains of water in the valleys. In the deserts they will find pools of water. Rivers fed by springs will flow across the dry, parched ground.

Who can make new out of old? Who can change the landscape with very little effort? Adonai, the Creator and the Lord, is able.
Therefore, when you feel like you are in a barren place, where there is nothing but bare rocks and no growth, do not let your feelings get the best of you. Jehovah will open up that rocky place and rivers and streams will flow forth.

If you believe you are traveling through a valley that stretches on and on like a plain, do not become discouraged. Even if it seems that you are being cloven in two and rent apart, maintain your hope, for the Lord your God will loosen fountains with life giving water to refresh and heal you.

When you find yourself in a wilderness, an uninhabited place, you do not need to fear. Adonai will transform that wilderness, placing pools and ponds of water there. He will make that desert live and bloom again.

So continue to trust God. You will see the abundant life that Yeshua promised. He will lift you on high and give you Living Water!
