My life…as a blossom in a… barren desert?

Joy  |  October 30

The humble … shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
You shall have a song as in the night when a holy festival is kept, and gladness of heart as when one goes with a flute, to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the Mighty One of Israel.
…the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose;
It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, even with joy and singing…

Isaiah 30:29, 29:19, 35:1-2


Father, we know that the proud stand afar from You and You honor those with a humble and contrite spirit whose riches lie in eternity, not in this temporal place.

Thank You for the evidence of Your love both in our lives and in that which You have created for our use. The earth does indeed blossom abundantly, even when man turns his back on You and on the opportunity to rejoice in You.

Strengthen our resolve to serve You and to acknowledge Your presence in all things. In Jesus Holy name, we pray, amen.

April 4, 2025 My life is really messed up...I know, let's blame someone else. April 3, 2025 Do you find "secret" groups, and exclusiveness attractive? April 2, 2025 Goodness over evil, love over hate, joy over depression... April 1, 2025 Run the race of life, but not alone. It is too hard... March 31, 2025 Does "commending" yourself ever work? March 30, 2025 What is the worst mistake a person can make? March 29, 2025 Every person is equipped to serve God...me too? March 28, 2025 Does God search my heart and test my mind? March 27, 2025 Trials; tests; inevitable and beneficial... March 26, 2025 Is there any meaning to life aside from God's will for you?
