Drought

We’re facing a severe drought in California. Hills and fields that are usually green this time of year are dead, brown and barren. Even the mountains that should be packed with snow are dry. 

Water is one of the necessities of life. Without water the fields produce no food, the lakes and rivers run dry, and there is no life. 

It’s possible to become spiritually dehydrated, too. Without the constant inflow of the living water into our life, we also become dry, barren, and fruitless.

There are a few things that can cause spiritual dryness:
·      Avoiding the presence of the Lord.
·      Allowing sin to get a grip on our lives.
·      Walking in the flesh, and neglecting the Spirit.

The remedy:
·      Jesus is the source of living water. Spend time in His presence.
·      In the words of Peter, “Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,” (Acts 3:19)
·      Jesus, speaking of the Holy Spirit, said that for those who believe in Him, out of our inmost being would flow rivers of living water. (John 7:38)

Feeling dry or spiritually parched? Drink up! Allow the refreshing presence of the Holy Spirit to flow into you, and out of you as you commune with Him, singing and praying in the Spirit. 

Enjoying the Journey
