“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.”

– Colossians 1:15-18

    “Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; all Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me.” – Psalm 42:7 Below are three personal observations after reading L.B. Cowman’s “Streams in the Desert.”  Admittedly, my wording has been highly influenced by Cowman, and so I want to give credit where credit is due. Undoubtedly, life is filled with storms.
