Growing In The Desert

A poem about a desert place being God's boot camp for his servants

Jehovah-Jireh

 “The LORD Will Provide” 

Amen !

For a servant of The Lord to grow

The Lord has to send them on a journey along a desolate desert road

Tho the desert is like a snow white blank canvas

No terrain feature to navigate by

Have no fear

During the dark cold night

God will warm you

God will  light you your path

By his pillar of fire 

Have no fear

During the fiery furness  heat of the day

God will cool you

When you eyes are blinded by the reflect of the sun off the sand

God will direct you by a covering cloud in the sky

Jehovah-Jireh

 “The LORD Will Provide” 

Amen !

Tho the desert is like empty cupboard

Void of substance to sustain life

Have no fear

God will fill your hunger by delivering daily bread with the morning dew 

God will quench your thirst by turn a dry hard rock into a water fountain

Jehovah-Jireh

 “The LORD Will Provide” 

Amen !

The desert road is a solitary journey

the silence of friendly familiar voice is deafening 

The roar of the enemy 

Ever loud and threatening

 

Have no fear

The Lord never slumber or sleeps

He keeps a protective watch over His sheep

He doesn't not run to escape the harm of a poacher or wild beast,

He stand boldly to defend his sheep

Jehovah-Jireh

 “The LORD Will Provide” 

Amen !

For a servant of The Lord to grow

The Lord has to send them on a journey along a desolate desert road
