Yesterday I shared with you the importance of stopping and resting. We need to recognize those times in which we must stop and lean upon Him for His strength. It is in those times of weariness that we need to know for sure that we are reaching upward and drawing upon the grace of our Loving God before we try to proceed any further. Many times people try to make decisions when they are at a point of physical or mental exhaustion. This is one of the biggest mistakes one can make. Today let us meditate on understanding that when we are in the “dry lands” of our spiritual walk that the Lord can still cause us to flourish.
“The Lord will always lead you and satisfy your needs in dry lands.
He will give strength to your bones.
You will be like a garden that has plenty of water, like a spring that never goes dry.”
Let us look closer at this word saturate. The origin of the word saturate is to be full or well-fed. One of it’s definitions is to soak, impregnate, or imbue thoroughly or completely. I am thinking how one could saturate a sponge with water and just lay it down. If one returns and squeezes it, the water will begin to fall. That which was within the depths of the sponge is now seen through the pressure of the squeeze.
