IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, JULY 12, 2012
IN THE DESERT PLACE, WE BLOSSOM AS THE ROSE
The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God. Isaiah 35:1.2
Our God looks for desert places to bring forth his best blooms. He looks for that wilderness place in your life and mine, that place where you feel lost , helpless and alone. It is there that he begins to bring forth that promise--the expected end. In the desert place of life God gives us hope. Oh, how fresh, and fragrant, and amazingly wonderful are the promises of God--like summer roses.
Today, let us smell the roses!
