Untracked land

Untracked land. Most vivid on days marked by change. Upheaval.

When planned schedules sit. Unattended. Calendars, set aside.

And we enter unknown spaces.

On such a day, I remember the quote. Handwritten on a scrap of paper years ago. Placed on my desk.

Amy Carmichael’s words.

When love runs out

When love runs out? I’ve been there.

And life lessons confirm my weakness. Insufficiency. To love in my own strength.

But He faithfully leads me to the truth.

My love runs out. His never does.

Flowing in and out. *Image by Joshua Woroniecki on Unsplash.*

Wells along the way

So he built an altar there, called on the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent there. Isaac’s servants also dug a well there. [Genesis 26:25]

Dug well in Central Asia by Didiervberghe. Public Domain

When Abraham or Isaac or Jacob moved to a new place, they did the necessary. Built an altar and worshiped the Lord their God. Pitched a tent and dwelled in the temporary place.

And dug a well. Dug deep. To tap into a source of water hidden beneath the ground.
