Do you see a drought or a place for a facet? Psalms 105-107

When we look at life through the eyes of faith we see different things.   We see what God "can" do not what is.   In this section of Psalms (105-107) we see the marvelous wonders of God and His providential working the lives of man.   We see Him harness His creation and bend it to the will and want of man.   God is firmly in control.  When we are lost in the sea of life and we are confounded by the pains the world can give us, we need to remember to look at life through the eyes of faith; which sees the world differently.  You and I see famine and dryness.   But with God on our side, we should see a pool of refreshment and a place of wonder:

Psalms 107:33 & 35

He changes rivers into a wilderness

And springs of water into a thirsty ground;

He changes a wilderness into a pool of water

And a dry land into springs of water;

It is hard to imagine that God can turn dryness into life and flowing with water, but that is what He does.  He can change the circumstance and He can change the heart in the circumstance.  He often prefers to the later over the former, however.   God wants us to see the possibility within a problem for HIs miraculous work rather than simply the problem.   A dry land is a place God is about to water, when we see it through the eyes of faith.   God desires to change all of our dryness to springs but first wants to change our eyes of flesh to eyes of faith.
