Even water from a rock

There is an old saying that is absolutely true that says, "You can't squeeze blood from a turnip." This is usually used when someone is asked to pay something or more than they can pay. We have all been there from time to time, when there is way more month left than money. We wonder how in the world we will ever get everything done.

There have been times in our lives that we were struggling financially for one reason or another, a job loss, a place of employment closing, everything tearing up at the same time, etc. And, it never failed that when we were at the lowest point in the struggle, GOD showed up in the most miraculous ways. I would get a call to do a job with someone that paid just what we needed. Or, we would have something given to us by someone that didn't know why they were supposed to give it to us. Of course, it was all orchestrated by GOD.

Today's word is Psalm 114:8, NLT, which reads, "He turned the rock into a pool of water; yes, a spring of water flowed from solid rock."

The children of Israel had been wandering in the desert and were thirsty. They had been complaining about their plight, as we so often do, and wanted Moses to better the situation, as we so often do. There in the desert, GOD brought forth water from a rock, solid rock. We may not be able to squeeze blood from a turnip but GOD can bring water from a solid rock.

We will all have our times of struggles in this life and in this world; it is just a fact of life. As Christians, though, we know that we have GOD on our side and that He will supply all of our needs, even water from a rock.

Be Blessed,
