Finding God in Suffering • Volume One: Excerpts from Streams in the Desert • Psalms

L.B. Cowman’s Streams in the Desert is a beloved devotional engaging the reader to find God within moments of suffering.   An Invitation into a Selah Moment Awaits  The word Selah is found seventy-one times in the Psalms. Some Bible scholars translate the word as “to lift up, exalt” or “silence.” Others see it as a musical notation extending an invitation to “pause to reflect.”  This 31-day devotional journal invites you to pause to reflect in a daily Selah moment as you press hold on your everyday life and enter into the profound truths found in L.B. Cowman’s classic Streams in the Desert. An emphasis on the Scripture passage from which Cowman draws her encouragement will usher you into God’s presence where you can find help for your time of need.  The daily format will lead you to explore a passage from the Psalms and a segment from Streams in the Desert. This is followed by a series of questions guiding you into a reflective pause. A journal page for your words back to God in prayer will conclude each daily devotion.    May this devotional guide you closer to God who offers peace in the midst of life’s challenges, disappointments, and pain.    Press pause each day and savor your Selah moment.
