I am like a well-watered garden in the heat of day A fountain of living water is at its center on display Delightful blooms of many colors decorate the scene A crown of shade protects the grass beneath tall evergreen It is there I sit and wait to hear my Beloved’s voice I could be doing many things, but this is my best choice Some days I come dry and empty to be filled again Inspiring thoughts become the ink of my ready pen This secret can be found of anyone who feels barren, dry Open up the Word of God and drink from His supply It will refresh and give life-to even the deadest heart Living waters flowing forth, God’s glory to impart Debbie Furey July 6, 2020 Isaiah 58:11 – “The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.” Psalm 1 John 4:1-42

See, I will give the oxen for burnt offerings and the threshing sledges for wood and the wheat for the grain offering; I will give it all.’ 24 But King David said to Ornan, ‘No, but I will surely buy it for the full price; for I will not take what is yours for the LORD, or offer a burnt offering which costs me nothing.’ 25 So David gave Ornan 600 shekels of gold by weight for the site. 26 Then David built an altar to the LORD there and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.
