"The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst...
But I the Lord will answer them; I the God of Israel, will not forsake them. I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys...
I will turn the desert into pools of water, and the parched ground into springs...
...so that people may see and know, may consider and understand, that the hand of the Lord has done this, that the Holy One of Israel has created it."
(Isaiah 41:17-18, 20)
And from my Advent reading: "It is good to humbly realize that we are all of us poor, needy and parched with thirst, just as it is a great relief to discover that he provides all we need and more..." Let us "prepare our hearts and our homes to receive anew the Gift that supplies all need and more" this Christmas.
(God With Us, p. 59)
