A Flood in the Desert

The Spirit of God is like a flood in the desert, washing over the arid landscape of our souls, carving out trenches, uprooting plants, and leaving a transformed landscape behind. If you, like me, are angry and saddened by the death of George Floyd, then it’s time to look deep inside yourself and ask the Spirit of God to transform your heart. How will your life be different when God is done with you? How will you think differently? What might you do differently moving forward?
