Day 6
The oasis is not far
Do you feel as if you are walking through the desert, through a parched earth floor, as if there was only emptiness and desolation around you? What if this desert time was allowed by the Lord? Jesus himself was led into the desert by the Holy Spirit:
“Jesus, filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the desert for forty days, and was tempted by the devil. And he did not eat anything in those days, after which he was hungry ”(Luke 4: 1-2).
Receive this truth today: You are not in the desert to die, but to be transformed by God. Like Jesus, you have been directed at this time of your life to this place, so that you can develop your relationship with God and be transformed each day a little more in His image.
In these particular times, Jesus "imprints" on you His character and His abilities, in order to make you a miracle in the midst of the nations, a support for those around you, a living testimony of the grace and power of God in your day to day. Dear brothers, the oasis is not far away!
I invite you to pray this prayer with me:
“Father, as I walk through this desert, give me the grace to look at my situation with Your eyes. Draw me close to you and give me the strength to hold onto you, even when despair knocks on my door. I give you all the glory! You have started a work in my life and you will finish it excellently according to the immensity of Your love. In the name of Jesus. Amen."
Luke 4: 1-2
1 Jesus, filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the desert,
2 for forty days, and was tempted by the devil. And he did not eat anything in those days, after which he was hungry.
