While spending time in scripture this morning I came across
Isaiah 40:8 and visions of our Spring Break trip popped into my head. We drove and drove and drove through Texas
because it just goes on and on and on.
Don’t get me wrong – Texas is awesome we were simply reminded how BIG it
was. While driving we were able to
observe the drought Texas is experiencing.
The grass is withered and the earth is definitely dry! Listening to the farmers talk the lack of
water is a concern and it is something many worry about. There is an uncertainty of the how the crops
will fair or how the needs will be met to water the livestock. 
Reading Isaiah 40:8 it shares the hope in all the
uncertainty that exists in our lives. “The
grass withers, the flower fades but the word of our God will stand forever.” It doesn’t matter where you live we all
experience uncertainty. The uncertainty
might look different but ambiguity and concern are still present. No matter the uncertainty we are experiencing
there is one thing that is certain – God.
He never changes and His Word never changes! His Word is still relevant to us today and
will continue to be relevant until Christ returns. There is Hope in whatever “drought” we are experiencing! It is truly a gift to have His Word at our fingertips.
