Excerpt from Streams in the Desert

God keeps us focused on things unseen cause we are so easily snared by the things we can see. When Peter looked away from himself and trusted only God, he became "fully persuaded that God had power to do what He had promised". Rom. 4:21
This is what God is teaching us and He has to keep results that are encouraging away from us until we learn to trust Him without the results!!!!! Then He loves to make His Word as real to us in actuality as it is in our faith. A.B. Simpson


I need, I want, I have to have.....
The things that are above.
Cause when I focus on myself
I miss the love of God.

For if I pray in deepest need
And yet do not receive,
I keep my thoughts within His Word
knowing He will lead.

If I think that in some small way
That I have brought results,
I will surely miss the love of God
Adding to my many faults.

So I will trust the Lord my God
my faith to always grow....
His Power, His Love, His Tenderness
is all I need to know.
