It isn't easy adjusting to life in the desert.

Have you ever wanted a do over? When we mess up, it’s natural to want another shot at getting it right. But Jesus came to do far more than give us a second chance. He came to be the perfect substitute for the whole human race and to win back for us even more than what we had lost. This week we see how God satisfies our thirsts – both physical and spiritual – in ways that exceed our expectation. Rather than being a “faucet” for our needs – someone we can activate on our own time and on our own terms, God’s constant presence in our life is like an ever-flowing spring of living water. He is with us at all times and provides for all our needs in the way he knows is best.
