A Cool Stream






Psa 42:1 As a deer longs for a stream of cool water, so I long for you, O God.
Psa 42:2 I thirst for you, the living God. When can I go and worship in your presence?


Last Sunday, after lunch Randy and I went for a hike. Several days before he had discovered a beautiful creek and wanted to show it to me. It is located here on the property at the ILC. As I’ve grown older and I must admit, out-of- shape, I’m not usually too anxious for a hike. It was a gorgeous day, the first one we’d seen in a long time, so I agreed.

To my ultimate delight I was so happy to have endured the shortness of breath and aching muscles when I beheld the well hidden treasure. When I first saw the creek, I was spell bound. Randy shared with me his first reaction was the song; “This is My Father’s World”, came to his mind. I’d say that is a very good description of the thought this handiwork of God brings to one’s mind.

After having the time to view the snap shots we took, the scripture in Psalms 42:1-2 filtered through my thoughts. I could see a deer carefully coming down to this cool stream of water to drink, and staying there until its thirst was completely
quenched.

Randy and I are in our 5th week of training here at the ILC. Soon and very soon we will be boarding a plane that will take us to Romania. There are hundreds of thousands of thirsty people where we are going. They don’t realize it, but they are looking for a stream of cool water to quench their thirst. The people of Romania have tried many other things in their lifetime, but are still thirsting for the real thing…….the living God.

Please join us on March 21st - March 22nd until sundown for 24 hours, as we pray and fast for the people of ROMANIA. Randy and I will be praying that God will stir their hearts and give them an unquenchable thirst for the LIVING GOD.
