Streams in the Desert

PROMISE REAPERS STREAMS IN THE DESERT Isaiah 43:15-19 15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, Israel's Creator, your King." 16 This is what the LORD says - he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters, 17 who drew out the chariots and horses, the army and reinforcements together, and they lay there, never to rise again, extinguished, snuffed out like a wick: 18 "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. 1. __________________________________________________________________________ Exodus 14:15 15 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to me?
