Judean Desert near Jerusalem

“Showers In Our Soul”
Psalm 72:6

While on tour in Israel, in 1997, we traveled from the Sea of Galilee to Jerusalem. I was moved by the desolate, dry and dusty mountain ranges that Christ walked as He ministered to the people and obeyed His Father. I looked at those desert places and thought how many lives are like that, just lying waste. The guide told us, that all you had to do was get water to that parched land, and it would grow about anything. The same it is for us; when we get the refreshing graces of God flowing in us by the indwelling Holy Spirit, we will prosper and grow. God desires to pour out His love and all of His blessings on those that readily accept it. We must turn to Jesus daily, for refreshing and for cleansing - like a shower on a warm spring morning.

He will send His love, that is fresh, pure and strong; To replenish and prepare us for the dry, dusty and desolate wilderness that is ahead. Go ahead, and step out by faith, God is waiting to reward your faithful obedience.

“Clean”

Showers, Showers, freely falling, 

On us cleansing, by Spirit calling. 

On us fall, O Heavenly blessing,

O come, Holy Ghost, for a pure refreshing.

Weekly Memory Verses:  2 Peter 3:9-12

9 ¶The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 ¶Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
