And now shall I die for thirst?
Judges 15:18 KJV
God’s springs burst out in unlikely spots. He is never at a loss. If there is no natural spring, He can create one. If all around, the mighty rocks reflect the sultry heat, and our spirit seems on the point of exhaustion, then in the wilderness He will cause streams to break out. Be of good courage, fainting warrior! The God who made you and has used you knows your frame and knows full well what you need before you even ask.
For your thirst, He can cause the refreshing stream to pour forth from the flinty rocks. He can turn the bitter water sweet for you to drink thereof; He will quench your soul-thirst with the water of life.

Pray About It: That for which you’re praying may seem to be the hardest of rocks or the driest of deserts, but wait! It’s God’s nature to bring forth water from the hard rock and to issue streams in the desert.
Moses saw the water of God as he struck the rock. What do you think he would say about your situation if you could ask him? No doubt he’d urge you to trust and obey. God will come through.
Make us, O blessed Master, strong in heart, full of courage, fearless of danger, holding pain and danger cheap when they lie in the path of duty. May we be strengthened with all might by Thy Spirit in our hearts.
