Scripture Read:  Psalm 107, 108  (James 3)

Key Verse:  Psalm 107:33-35

“He turns rivers into a desert, springs of water into thirsty ground,
a fruitful land into a salty waste, because of the evil of its inhabitants. He turns a desert into pools of water,
    a parched land into springs of water.”

Observation:

This Psalm speaks to the power God has to give and take away. To transform things for his glory. He blesses what it is good but also stops the blessing from what is evil. This Psalm carries with it the promise of God to transform what can sometimes be a negative circumstance into a better one or taking something that is not of Him and not blessing it.

Application:

We will reap what we sow. If we make conscious decisions throughout our day to live and act like Jesus, we will receive the full blessing of God. I want to be a man who is after God to turn parched land into springs of water in my life. If I want the blessing, I must live in according to His purposes. I believe every time something comes out of my mouth that is not of God, I miss the opportunity to experience, receive, or even give springs of water. The idea is simple. Our God breathes, provides, and pours out blessings on His people.

Prayer:

Lord, help me to stay grounded to act and speak the way You would have me act and speak today. Help me to be an agent of transformation that brings water to the thirsty and hope to the hopeless.
