June 8: God Will Lead You Continually


“The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.”
— Isaiah 58:11 (NKJV)

5 Points:

  1. God’s guidance is ongoing, not occasional.
  2. He satisfies us even when circumstances are barren.
  3. His strength renews us from deep within.
  4. Life with God is marked by fruitfulness and refreshment.
  5. Trusting His leadership brings unending supply.

The Garden That Does Not Fail

You lead me when the sky is empty.
You whisper when the fields are dry.
You find me where hope seems small.
You call life up from the dust.
You build springs under my feet.

My soul cracks like broken earth.
But you pour water into the gaps.
Your presence fills the thirsty ground.
You green the garden of my heart.
You make beauty grow again.

The winds may strip the trees bare.
The rains may forget to fall.
But your hand never forgets me.
Your Spirit breathes over my soil.
Your promises root deep and sure.

When the world turns cold and grey,
You cover me with warmth unseen.
You feed the roots with your Word.
You shield the young shoots with your love.
You make a spring where none was found.

I will not fear the coming drought.
I will not bow to barren fear.
You guide, you water, you grow.
You do not leave your garden dry.
You are the life that never ends.
