"I cared for you in the desert, in the land of burning heat." Hosea 13:5
The beauty of God's love and concern is that he is available to you when you find yourself in the dry places of life. When you are wandering, He's presence is the bright oasis in the desert.
Life has those inward moments when all seems lost. That's why God is described as a Shepard, who goes to find those who are lost. In fact, the scripture records that he is not satisfied, even if 99 are in the fold, until he finds the one that is lost. In those lonely moments, He will comfort you. In your darkest hour, He will be the light unto your path.
That's why you should rejoice whether you are on one of life's pikes or in one of life's valleys.
That blessedness of God is like this palm tree in the midst of life's desert.
