My Pastor preached a sermon today. He preached t directly to me. The title: "Survivng in the Desert". He told the story of when Elijah was in the desert and there had not been rain for over 3 and a half years.
God places us in desert situations sometimes. There are times in life where it seems like nothing is ever going right. It seems like everything in your life is drying up. No jobs. No money. And just when it seems like it can't get any worse, it does. You are in a desert.
God places us in the desert to show us how powerful He really is. He shows out the best in our times of desperation. When we feel like there is nothing left to do, do exactly that: nothing. Stand there and Let God be God. That is MUCH harder than it sounds. We as humans want to control everything all the time. But sometimes, we just have to stand back and let God do what He does best.
At the end of that particular story, Elijah told Ahab to get in his chariot, with wheels and horses, and go to Jezreel. Elijah, on foot, starts on his way to Jezreel as well and the power of God overtakes him. Elijah begins to run (after not having any real food for about 3 years) and PASSES King Ahab in his chariot (with wheels and horses). Read that again if you didnt get it. The scripture in in I Kings. Read it. It will truly bless you.
God will supply all your needs. Even in your desert season, God can make you strong like a cactus. He still reigns. Trust Him to get you through your desert season.
Peace and Love
