Seeing Differently

 

...and make her wilderness

           like Eden,

her desert

  like the garden of the LORD.

               Isaiah 51. 3

(In our uninhabited,

barren, dried up places,

God transforms our hearts

  not to make-do or survive,

          but to thrive.

He empowers us to

see circumstances differently,

walk differently with Him,

and be different

     in this impossible place.

To see ourselves differently

  because we see 

                God differently.

What does this situation

           make possible?

What is God forming in me

    through this?)

O LORD,

When we hit these difficult spots,

  help us to lean on You

                   even more.

Strengthen us

  to stop asking "why?"

and to start asking "what?"

Divine appointments,

sacred encounters,

strategically placed,

Your glory all over it.
