Words From the Well!
by
Peggie C. Bohanon
You see, I'd read about the mysterious, daring desert in a book--a scary fictional drama that intrigued me as I sat safe and cool in my own home. Slight difference when you're THERE! And so it is with our spiritual lives. We read of real-life drama in God's Word; we thrill to the victorious intervention of the Lord--and then we experience the REAL "stuff" in our own life...and it's a whole different story--or is it? Come with me to the well. It's in the desert, the players are in place and the drama is about to unfold...
Listen to the Kingdom Lord as He addresses His adversary, "It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." And with that Word firmly implanted in His mind and heart, our Lord overcame the wiles of the enemy--for Himself, and for us! We need not surrender to the flesh when we allow HIS word to rise up within us, to garrison our minds and to defeat the power of the evil one. His Word is power and it is LIGHT--learn it, memorize it, hide it in your heart--and the flesh will fall in defeat, for HE is the Living Word, He is Truth, He is Lord!
Listen as Jesus, God's Son, worn by emotional duress but warmed by the Spirit of God, knew better! Hear Him declare to the devil, "It is written...thou shalt not put the Lord, thy God, to the test." Satan lost and Jesus won round number two--for Himself and for you! Emotionally, you may feel devastated by the enemy. He's taunted and tried you to the limit; you'd feel GOOD showing him how great your God is. But stop--you need not prove to the devil nor to anyone else what your God can do. Don't let your emotions rule you in the testing time--God will defend you mightily, in His time and in His way. Cling to His Word, let it strengthen and warm your soul. You WILL survive the attack of the devil. You are not alone, for HE, the STRONG One, the Kingdom Lord, is with you to uphold and strengthen you in your trial--He IS Lord!
Listen as the Kingdom Lord once again says, "It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serve." Once again Satan was defeated by the Word of God. The voice that would someday calm the sea and speak resurrection to a dead man raised itself in power to proclaim, "It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and Him only shalt thou serve." You can say it too--"Devil, don't tempt me with earth's treasures--my spirit seeks HIm only who is Lord of my life!" In the midst of the battle, get still enough to hear His voice. "It is written" will sustain your weakened, worn-down spirit. Let not your spirit be disturbed by the test and trial, for as He speaks to you through His Word, that powerful, living Word WILL sustain you. He still speaks in the desert--and He will speak in YOURS, for He's your Lord!

There's a secret hidden in the desert....but before we uncover it, let's look around. It IS a fascinating place--unless you're STUCK there! And stuck we were, one vacation time several years ago, with two young children in car seats, a hot light flashing, this mom begging that dad to turn around and go back to civilization. We made it back and survived to tell the tale! I don't recommend your trying THAT trip unless you are well-equipped--with a lot of grit and grace--a lot of wit and water will help too!
But what about the secret of the desert? I discovered it last week. Now deserts and Disney don't seem to mix, but in a very strange way, they did for me last week--and therein lies the secret of the desert! Three words: "Light, Sound 'n Fire!" The place? Epcot Center in Orlando, Florida. I visited wonderful countries of the world by day--and I thought of Peggie's Place reaching around the world with His love. I watched by night the lovely display of fireworks, I heard the booming sounds and saw the gorgeous glow. It was awesome--but not as awesome as the Lord who spoke to me in the middle of it all. He spoke light to my mind; a still, small voice to my heart and warmth within my soul. "Light, Sound 'n Fire" in the middle of my own desert place--and in the middle of yours too--that's His plan for all His beloved believers. After all, He KNOWS--He's been there; He's conquered the foe, and HE IS LORD--Kingdom Lord of your heart, your world and your life--worship HIM! He'll be the light, sound 'n fire in YOUR desert today--for it is NO secret what God can do!
"For the kingdom is the Lord's...Psalm 23:28 KJV)."
"Lord, I'm in a desert place and I need You--I need Your Word to enlighten my mind; Your voice to sustain my spirit and Your fire to strengthen my soul. Let me live in Your Words, "It is written," and know Be light, sound and fire to me this day! In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Have a great day serving the Lord!
Enjoy the gory details of the "hot light" story--
