                     Fresh Oasis In Your Desert

In the stillness, listen to hear My voice, for I am all around you. 
I am with you, whether it be to the north or the south, whether it be 
to the left or the right.  

You have traveled through the desert like a weary one, with dust on 
your feet and no staff to guide you. I have not forsaken you and I 
have not let you down, there is a fresh oasis up ahead. 

I have given you a pool of refreshment; you will swim in it, laugh in 
it, dance in it, and rejoice with all of your heart! Know that I have 
not left you. I will never leave you comfortless. Though the thick 
cloud of night has hindered your understanding at times, I am still 
directing you forward into good things. My Word is a light to you.
Isaiah 53 for you. Come and dine. Come and dine.
