The poor and needy seek water, but there is none, their tongues fail for thirst. I, the Lord, will hear them; the God of Israel, will not forsake them. Isaiah 41:17

 Watching the news about the devastating fires in California makes my heart break for all those who’ve literally lost everything except the clothes on their backs. One of the most frustrating reports that has come out, firemen encountered no water in the fire hydrants. There were so many fires happening at once and fire trucks attached to fire hydrants that the water ran out. The supply was not enough to meet the great demand.

 Relating this issue to you and your life; how many times have you encountered much difficulty and the resources you drew from were not enough to meet your basic needs? Maybe the bills were greater than your bank account, the loss of a loved one left you feeling lost without them, you had friends who abandoned you at the most critical time you needed them. There are many instances in life where your hydrant runs dry and you don’t know where to find relief. Let me share with you the source of living water that can sustain any devastating fire you encounter.

 I will open rivers in desolate heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. Isaiah 41:18

 The only One who can supply all of your needs is God. He spoke today’s two verses through the pen of Isaiah’s writer. His ear is always attentive to His children’s voices, and hears them when they cry for help. He already knows your need before you ask Him and has a special way of supplying the resources needed to advance in life.

 Why then does He allow moments of dryness? So you can be reminded that your dependence is NOT upon the people and things of this world, but on Him. During those brief moments before the rains come, God uses this critical time to draw you closer to Him, so you can witness His goodness and sustaining power, even at the darkest times of your life. Believe me, I’m living proof of His goodness, and He will do the very same for you when you seek Him out for all of your needs. Come to Him in your desperate moments of life and He will always sustain you through the abundant resources (blessings) He longs to give you. God bless!
