Daily Lesson for June 20, 2017

 Today's Daily Lesson comes from Psalm 78 verses 15 and 16:

15 He split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them water as abundant as the seas; 16 he brought streams out of a rocky crag and made water flow down like rivers.

 Hidden beneath the surface of the heart, deep within the human soul, is a reservoir which some call Resilience and some Survivor and others simply call Strength. 

This is deep water which, unfortunately, can only be discovered by the way of the wilderness. Success cannot find this water. Prosperity and affluence and ease of life will never drink from it. These will never discover it. They will never thirst enough to find it out.  This water can only be found in the stone. And the stone is hard -- hard like Flint, like the Wailing Wall, or like the Rock of Ages. 

Only struggle and pain and the harshness of the journey are strong enough to break the Rock.  But strike the Rock and God's living water streams out. The River of Life streams out. The Glad River streams out.
