‭‭Expect good only from God. That's why He saved us. Without Him, our expectations will leave us hopeless. God always hears those who are hungry and thirsty for Him. He blesses them beyond belief (Isaiah 41:17,18).

How does God bless those who pursue Him?

I WILL OPEN RIVERS IN HIGH PLACES

High places refer to the higher standard of life God has called us into. God dwells in high places. Our citizenship is in heaven (Philippians 3:20). Samson broke his consecration and intimacy with God. Jesus prayed regularly on the mount of olives, preserving His intimacy with the Father.

FOUNTAINS AMID VALLEYS

Valleys reveal humility, a broken heart and a contrite spirit (Psalms 51:17). Like Jesus, who prayed with strong tears (Hebrews 5:7,8). (Revelation 12:2) A travailing in prayer experience produces great joy in the end. Hannah, King Hezekiah, King David and others all prayed with tears and received great blessings.

POOLS OF WATER IN THE WILDERNESS

Wilderness reveals faith life. Joshua and Caleb faithfully finished their journey with the Israelites and entered Canaan. Unbelief stopped the rest from entering (Hebrews 3:19). Why do we need faith? Faith is necessary for earthly needs, spiritual and physical healing, victory over evil natures and spiritual wickedness attacking us daily (Matthew 6:34).

SPRINGS OF WATER ON DRY LAND

A dry land refers to the dry spiritual state of the believer. Only the Holy Spirit, the living water can restore us and revive our spiritual thirst.

May God give us grace to retain His blessings in our lives daily as we get closer to the coming of Jesus for His saints.

Maranatha, Praise God, and Amen.
