Since the 23rd I’ve been meditating on Psalm 143:6. David wrote, “I spread out my hands to You; my soul longs for You like a thirsty land.”

Another translation says, “…like dry, cracked ground thirsts for rain.”

The context. David is overwhelmed and his heart is distressed because of his adverse circumstances 

Then he remembered in verse 5 how the Lord worked in his life before. He pondered and thought about it. He realized he was dried out and reached for the Lord

Think about the unbelievers in your life. They don’t have the Lord to cry out to. They have no deliverances to recall. Their lives are perpetually dry and cracked

I prayed for an unbeliever early this morning. Thought of Luke 4:18 in the Amplified 

It says that the Lord came to set the captives free and to deliver those, “…who are oppressed (who are downtrodden, bruised, crushed, and broken down by calamity).”

Then in my reading I came to Psalm 147:3. It says, “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds”

We have His words to bring rain to parched lives. Lord help us be about Your business today of sharing Your life with others
