Never run dry
The trees are make really loud cracking sounds, sounds they usually don't make. It's because of the cold. It's extreme cold, the kind of cold we are not meant to be in much, 0, with -5 wind chill. When we are in situations that take us to the edge of life, of what we are comfortable with, we must have The Lord guiding us, and not our flesh. Romans 13:14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. We had a diseased tree in our back yard, and it cracked really loud. We knew at some point it would fall over, that why it was cracking so loud, it had a split in it. It was aiming right at our house, we knew if it fell, it would cream our house. It is not a good thing for a tree to hit a house. We had to cut it down. It was an easy fix right now, but if the tree crashed into the house, it may not even be able to be fixed at all. At the same time my wife had cancer, which had to be cut out. If we had not, it had already reached the wall of her chest, it would take over her body, and be much harder to heal, if it could be healed at all.
So when it gets hard in life, it's too easy for us to give up, or press through in our own strength, instead of relying on the Lord, and His strength, which never runs dry. "Lord, help us today to remain faithful, even if it's hard, and we feel like cracking. Let us rely on Your power, Your strength, and Your wisdom. And help us to realize that it's all You anyway, even when we have a good thought, it's from You, for," Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights...(James 1:17) Have a great day.
