Refreshment For Parched Souls by Gini Walker

When my soul is dry, it feels parched. I have a thirst that leaves me speechless. It needs to be quenched. I am so tired of speeches. I am so tired of opinions (mine included). And in this dryness, there is a deep longing in my soul. I’ve discovered what it is—a longing for GOD’S GLORY. One glimpse, one taste, one sampling, and my faith is changed. It is that awe that nearly paralyzes me when I see a magnificent sunrise and sunset. There is an unearthly power at work. This power directs me to see God.

“Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O LORD, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as the one who is over all things.” (1 Chronicles 29:11 NLT)

“They were calling out to each other, ‘Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Heaven’s Armies! The whole earth is filled with his glory!’” (Isaiah 6:3 NLT)

“and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:11 NLT)

“And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light.” (Revelation 21:23 NLT)

I hope these words from His Holy Book will encourage you and bring springs of refreshing water to your dry soul.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY
