Refreshment Stand – Lectio Divina

October 24, 2010 By Jean Wise

They did not thirst when he led them through the deserts; he made water flow for them from the rock; he split the rock and water gushed out. Isaiah 48:21 (NIV)



They did not thirst when he led them through the deserts.

Lord, you are my refreshment. The only water that satisfies my parched throat.
I search elsewhere, especially in dry times, only to return to Your rock. When I once again realize You are my only source, You spill your love and grace with unrestrained generosity upon me like gushers of water.
I arrive scorched by the heat of the world. You pick me up. You replenish my soul.
May I taste Your goodness and sip Your streams of revitalizing waters.
Lord, I have heard the human body is more than 70% water. May You be in every molecule of that fluid within me.
You are the restoring water.
You are the source of all renewal.
You are Life.

    Thanks, gals. You know when I turn my heart and mind to praise, all else seems to take on lesser importance.

    This is beautiful. I could feel the refreshing waters rushing over me as I read, and the words themselves resonated with me deeply. “I know that feeling. I’ve been there,” I thought. And oh, how I yearn to return again and again!!!
