We were reading about Abram and how God took him our of the land of the land of Ur, where the sun was worshiped, to a dry and lonely desert. In this desert Abram learned many things about the God whom he worshiped. I wonder how many times we need to be taken through a time of sickness, trial, or loneliness to get us to notice a God who is greater than our circumstances, who offers much more than just our feelings, who will lead us down His paths? May we all drink deeply of the fountain that is ever running with life-giving water.
