They had been traveling over the desert' s barren sands, no water was in sight and they\r\nwere famishing with thirst Then God spake to Moses and said:\r\n\"Gather the people together, and I will give them water,\" and this is how it came.\r\nThey gathered in circles on the sands. They took their staves and  dug deep down into the burning earth and as they dug, they sang, \"Spring up, 0 well, sing ye unto it,\" and lo, there came a gurgling    sound, a rush of water and a flowing stream which filled the well\r\nand ran along the ground.\r\nWhen they dug this well in the desert, they touched the stream that was running beneath, and reached the flowing tides that had long    been out of sight.\r\nHow beautiful the picture given, telling us of the river of\r\nblessing that flows a through our fives, and we have only to reach by faith and praise to find our wants supplied in the most barren    desert.\r\nHow did they reach the waters of this well? It was by praise. They sang upon the sand their song of faith, while with their staff of\r\npromise they dug the well.\r\nOur praise will still open fountains in the desert when murmuring will only bring us judgment and even prayer may fail to reach the fountains of blessing.\r\nThere is nothing that pleases the Lord so much as praise. There Is no test of kith so true as the grace of thanksgiving. Are you\r\nPraising God enough? Are you thanking Him for your actual\r\nblessings.that are more than can be numbered, and are you daring to praise Him even for those trials which are but blessings in\r\ndisguise? Have you learned to praise Him in advance for the things that have not yet come? --Selected\r\nThou waitest for deliverance! 0 soul, thou waitest long!\r\nBelieve that now deliverance Doth wait for thee in song!\r\nSigh not until deliverance\r\nThy fettered feet doth free:\r\nWith songs of glad deliverance God now doth compass thee.",1783499793060]
