"I will cause you to ride on the heights of the land." Isaiah 58:14.This was the verse for today's devotion in Streams in the Desert.
I LOVE this verse!
It speaks to my heart in this time where life is like a roller coaster. One day Rachel is doing well, and they are so few and far between lately, and the next day we are back down.
The devotion continues, "The sufferings of life are God's winds. Sometimes they blow against us and are very strong. They are His hurricanes, taking our lives to higher levels, toward His heavens...When the storms of life appear, the atmosphere is changed, purified, filled with new life, and part of heaven is brought down to earth."
I like this. We live in the windy part of Texas. It can be so dry here. This new season of having to watch my precious daughter suffer feels like being dried and whipped by the wind. I've had to fight hard against it.
Today's devotion makes me rethink the wind. I'm going to choose instead to ride the wind to new heights with the Father knowing that He is right here in the midst of the storm with us...knowing that brings much comfort!
Joyfully,
Kristi

What comfort in riding on the wind of God! Praying for Rachel...Happy WFW!
Wonderful. May we all ride to new heights on our journey with him.
Thanks for sharing this it was a blessing to me today.
This is a fantastic example of allowing God to reshape the way we think about things. I am so glad I stopped by, because things have been rather "windy" over here too!
Blessings to you, and I'm still praying.
What a neat thought that part of Heaven is brought down to earth. Amazing verse! Thanks for sharing.
I pray the doctors will find just the right treatment for Rachel. Thank you for blessing me...
WOW...that was beautiful Kristi,
Riding the wind...I love that image...rather than wrestling with it...
Perfect for me today, it's so windy here..the analogy I needed!
