Streams in the Desert
by L.B. Cowman
Part of the devotional thought for November 30th:
( yes, sigh...I know it's December)
"The Savior endured an especially difficult test in the wilderness while in the presence of Satan for forty days and nights, His human nature was weakened by the need for food and rest. The three Hebrew young men were kept for a time in the flames of "the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual" ( Dan. 3:19). In spite of being forced to endure the tyrant's last method of torture, they remained calm and composed as they waited for their time of deliverance to come. And after surviving an entire night sitting among the lions, "when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God."
They were able to endure in the presence of their enemies because they dwelt in the presence of their God. (The bold is mine-This is my favorite part!!)
About Me
- BrownEyedGirl
- Only a reflection as in a mirror,an image.A form of what is, what we see or perceive of who we are. Yet,Promised so much more. Now,we know in part. Then,we shall know fully. Breathe,the warmth of Your Breath on the glass of my soul.Leave the fingerprint of God upon my mirror. So, when others draw near to share a breath of life,a moment,they may see the mark of God pressed on me.Breathe and it will appear not because I put it there.But because I've been touched by the hand of God.No reflection will be seen past the mark He made.When others look in my mirror and breathe. -cjb
