the oasis of grace

Mark 1:4 says

And so John came, baptizing in the desert region...

The gospel begins in the desert.
Not surrounded in emenities
not in plush palaces.
God always speaks in the desert.

Lord, I ask you to speak in the barreness of my journey. Lord, teach me to cry out to the dry landscape of lost souls. teach me how to walk among the snakes and scorpions.

Deserts aren't set up for baptisms and in the resources of my habitation i find little water to drink much less baptize so I prayer that you will emmerse those around me in the oasis of grace- i believe in desert water and in the advent of glory.
