Ludlow Falls by Dee Kamp
When
Streams and Dreams Disappear
Nearby where we live a delightful
stream that tumbles over a pretty water fall deep in the woods. When I took my
friend there this summer and we followed the well-marked trail along she called
out to me, “Hey! I think we’ve taken a wrong turn! The stream has disappeared!”
“Whoever believes in me, as
Scripture has said,
rivers of living water will flow
within them.”
John
7:38 NIV
Faith
looks up and keeps traveling along the path of life, even when we lose sight of
the water- when we feel we have lost sight of God moving in our lives.
Beloved,
have you had a great disappointment, a sorrow, a feeling of loss and perhaps weary
of waiting for answers to prayer?
Have
faith with great hope! For God’s love
for you is unfailing, never ending and His Rivers of Living Waters is still
flowing within you.
You may not see the Lord right now, but He
always has His eye on you. In these times there will be blessings you could
never otherwise experience, and many who witness this will have a greater light
of understanding of God’s love and faithfulness too.
We
weren’t lost on the way to the falls that day, and the little stream hadn’t
quit or dried up. I pointed out to my friend a marker on a stump that read:
“At this point this little stream goes under
ground for a while but will soon appear again.”
When
streams and dreams may seem to disappear ―we can always be assured, God is ever
near.
“I do
not ask that He must prove
His Word
is true to me,
And that
before I can believe
He first
must let me see.
It is
enough for me to know
‘Tis
true because He says ‘tis so’
On His
unchanging Word I’ll stand
And
trust till I can understand.―E.M. Winter,
