Summer heat can make us feel parched. Especially in the desert area where there is less opportunity for refreshing water. Yet there are always pockets of refreshment if we know where to look, especially in our faith. God provides the nourishing food and drink that we need to sustain us, even in times of desert experiences.

Perhaps we can prepare ourselves before we enter desert times. Keep a journal with quotes that nourish you close by. When you experience a desert in your faith, look to the journal for a drop of water to refresh you.

Find other things that nourish you when there’s plenty of living water and keep those in mind when you find desert.
