The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. - Isaiah 58:11 (NIV)

I love to sit and watch the creek flowing through our backyard. Sometimes, during dry spells, it slows; but it keeps moving. Streams, creeks, and rivers flow continually all around the area where I live. I’ve often sat beside a fast-moving mountain stream and wondered, Where is all that water...

Today's Prayer
Source of life, thank you for your love and strength that never fails. Flow through us as we seek to love and serve others. Amen.
