God In My Desert

Psalms 143:5 says I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all Your Works;
I muse on the works of Your hands
I spread out my hands to You like a thirsty Land

When I have found myself falling deep into troubles and can't see a way out of I remember all the times that God has wonderfuly intervened on my behalf as I would go to Him in prayer.  Even now I am not in any kind of situation that needs emergency intervention from my Lord.  I still desire to lead  a pleasing life for Him.  I still need Him to do Mighty things that will help me to be more like Him in my every day life.
When I feel secure in all I do I  realize I must continue to lean on and trust Jesus to show me the things I canot see that are wrong in myself.

This week I have had many tests and trials compared to other weeks.  Did I handle these things with a pure heart?  Or did my suprise attacks in my life this week catch me off guard! The answer is NO!  As I look back I didn't do as well as I should have!
So I  spread out my hands to You Oh LORD !!  For I do see the many errors in my ways that I cannot fix!
I am like a thirsty land so needing your refreshing in the midst of a desert of dryness ! I need your intervention of Holy Spirit  water to bring new life to my overgrown dry garden filled with many unwanted weeds  needing to be rooted out.

Have I gotten to busy with life's distractions spending less  time in needed refreshing and learning under the shadow of Your wings. So as to be better prepared for my testings for mightier use to Your Kingdome.

As I think of times past and all your wonderous ways.  I make new decisions so our times together will not be rushed or hindered.  Where You will remind me of all your miracles in my life even from days of old.  When I Your innocent lover  knowing little more than to be in Your presence pondering and delighting in our precious seasons of Bliss..

I will be MORE sensitive to Your callings to me as in the days of my beginnings.  Reaping bountifull sweet fruit overwelming to those who taste of it.
I will then be prepared for the growing  tests of this darkening life,  Helping those who are dry in the  desert of dispair.  Offering to them a refreshing that only your Spirit Life will quench as they spread out their hands to You like a thirstyLand.
Today I muse on the Works of Your Hands
