Daily Reading:
Isaiah 41
Devotion:
Streams in the Desert
At once the Spirit sent him out into the desert. (Mark 1:12)
Aren't your times of deepest depression the moments that immediately follow your loftiest highs? Just yesterday you were soaring high in the heeavens and singing in the radiance of the morning. Today, however, your wings are folded and your song is silent.
Nothing but the Son's vision can equip you to carry the Spirit's burden, and only the glory of the baptism can withstand the hunger of the desert.
The time of testing that distinguishes and greatly enriches a person's spiritual career is not an ordinary one but a period when it seems as if all hell were set loose. It is a time when we realize our sould is caught in a net, and we know God is allowing us to be gripped by the Devil's hand. yet it is a period that always ends in certain triumph for those whho have committed the keeping of their souls to God. And the testing "later on... produces a harvest of rightiousness and peace" (Heb 12:11) and paves the way for the thirtyfold to one hundredfold increase that is promised to follow.
