Streams in the Desert

"I will pour out water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out My Spirit on your offspring, and My blessing on your descendants; and they will spring up among the grass like poplars by streams of water" (Isa. 44:3).

As an Arizona boy, I find this promise of the Spirit to be particularly attractive. The Spirit is life-giving, like water on the thirsty land. It has always sounded refreshing. However, I had not thought much about how transforming and distinctive that life must be.

On the way to Nairobi, we flew over the Al Khufrah Oasis in southeastern Libya. It is one of that nation's largest agricultural projects, and it requires some serious irrigation. But once the water is poured out on the desert, the transformation serves as a landmark for orbiting astronauts.

Now if we can only get them to arrange the circles like the LifeSpace logo . . .

Big animals under the big sky. I am glad they were not scared off by our squeals of delight!
