A Surprising Source of Spiritual Growth
By Greg Laurie
“For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.”
—Isaiah 43:19
We might be surprised by this, but spiritual refreshment and growth often come from times of spiritual testing.
Speaking through the prophet Isaiah, God said, “I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. . . . Yes, I will make rivers in the dry wasteland so my chosen people can be refreshed” (Isaiah 43:19–20 NLT).
