Daily Butter 8/15: He Alone

My little addition to Our Daily Bread (8/15/11):

 

    I will open rivers on the barren heights,

    and springs in the middle of the plains.

    I will turn the desert into a pool of water

    and dry land into springs of water.

    (Isaiah 41:18 HCSB)

 

Have you ever felt like you were in the middle of a desert or at least a drought spiritually? This reminder that the Creator who placed the oases in the desert can turn even the driest areas into lush, fruitful land can do the same with our hearts if we stop the striving and let Him. I know that’s easier said than done and I’m struggling to find the balance between yielding control and taking responsibility in so many areas.
