“And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water;” Gen 21:19
Definition for the word Oasis:
*fertile or green area in a desert region, usually having a spring or well.
*something serving as a refuge, relief, or pleasant change from what is usual, difficult, etc.
There have been many times in my life when I experienced parched desert places…times of searching in an arid desert due to times of pain, loneliness, illness, disappointment or confusion. And always those parched desert places were full of mirages/hopeful solutions ‘I’ just knew were God’s will for my life.Each time I realized I was seeing but a mirage and yielded myself to God’s will my Abba Father took away the mirages by opening my eyes to His truths…truths which enabled me to see reality and my path to a beautiful fertile oasis with refreshing and abundant hope-filled water to draw from His well.
My purpose is to draw from that well and share a refreshing cup of water with all those who visit this oasis.
“….This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing:” Isaiah 28:12b
“I (God) will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.” Isaiah 41:18b
