All I can do, is post the streams in the desert for yesterday. In ministered to my heart right where I am. We have sick kids, which is no fun... So Ive been staying home with them while they recover. Friday is our big day as we travel to California for 10 days. I need them to get better for that. We went by the house yesterday to see if it survived last weeks storm, and ended up meeting one of the neighbours. He couldn't chat for too long because one of his cows was halving a calf and he needed to pull it. lol.
Hope you are encouraged by the yesterdays Streams...
It is a source of inspiration and strength to come in touch with the youthful David, trusting God. Through faith in God he conquered a lion and a bear, and afterwards overthrew the mighty Goliath. When that lion came to despoil that flock, it came as a wondrous opportunity to David. If he had failed or faltered he would have missed God's opportunity for him and probably would never have come to be God's chosen king of Israel.
"And there came a lion." One would not think that a lion was a special blessing from God; one would think that only an occasion of alarm. The lion was God's opportunity in disguise. Every difficulty that presents itself to us, if we receive it in the right way, is God's opportunity. Every temptation that comes is God's opportunity.
When the "lion" comes, recognize it as God's opportunity no matter how rough the exterior. The very tabernacle of God was covered with badgers' skins and goats' hair; one would not think there would be any glory there. The Shekinah of God was manifest under that kind of covering. May God open our eyes to see Him, whether in temptations, trials, dangers, or misfortunes.
