Are you spiritually dry?

Parched and withered of spirit and mind?

Been there.

Those times in my life where I’ve felt empty of spiritual energy as well as physical or emotional fatigue I come back to what Jesus said in John 7:38, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”

I am so thankful that God’s words bring hope and healing. Words of promise that rain down rivers of mercy and grace – quenching my thirst and filling my soul as a flowing pump replenishes a dried-out sponge.

For a long time my prayer has been ‘Change me, Lord! Make me more like Your Son.’ I long to be His vessel, overflowing with His love and used to bring honor and glory to His name. The key is – I can’t do it on my own! It is His Spirit within me that pours out love and mercy and grace, as well as strength and power. I must wait for Him to finish the work He started in me (Phil 1:6).

Is. 55:10-11 says, “As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth; it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”

The journey at times has seemed to defeat me – but it never defeats Him! I am reminded of His presence and comforted with the assurance of His sovereignty. He knows the way that I take and my path is not hidden from Him – He not only knows my destination, but will help me get there!

All for Him,

Missy
