"Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation" ~Is 12:3~
I love it when the Lord follows a really stressful day with a peaceful day full of joy. He knows exactly what we need and when we need it most.
Looking back over this year, I'm amazed how abundantly He has met our needs. He even met many of our wants. He protected us from countless things. Strengthened us to endure many others. Wow. What a testimony 2009 holds for God Almighty already, and I see even more ahead before this year is complete.
Reading the prayer of Jabez last night, the author focused on one phrase: Fill me with Your Spirit! What a pleading cry for us, even at the end of a long hard day. Refill me Lord, when I'm all used up and empty and think there is not another drop left to give. Refill me with Your Spirit! That's one request that He always grants, quickly and completely.
He is our well of salvation. From Him, we can draw waters of replenishing joy.
