"Who cuts a channel for the torrents of rain, and a path for the thunderstorm, to water a land where no man lives, a desert with no one in it," Job 38:25 & 26
This passage of scripture can seem so simple and none important at first glance. I would challenge you to see the depth of the character of God. This scripture shouts to me the integrity and faithfulness of the LORD!
Here we have God... Who is more than sufficient to water this desert where "no man lives, a desert with no one in it." But does he really have to water it? Can't he just cause whatever is in the desert to grow? (1 Cor. 3:7) But here in a desert, which we so commonly understand to be a place that possesses nothing, He chooses to water the land. No one is here to see it, there is no accountability, we might not even notice if he does it or not (at least for awhile). Yet he chooses to because His very being is faithfulness. His very being has integrity. Also, if he provides for these things that we tend to forget about in the desert, how much more will he provide for us? He will do what he says He is going to do. He will do this regardless if anyone else notices, even if it means nothing to anyone else, even if we crucify Him for it.
Don't discount the promise He gave you. Don't forget or forfeit a vision that he imparted to you. It is real, it was Him, and it will happen - if you let Him bring it to completion. (Philippians 1:6) Don't disqualify these things in your head because you received these things when you were "radical" or "zealous" for the Lord. He still wants to bring these things to completion.
