As we live in a world of such transistion and change there are times that we become overwhelmed or just burned out. We become dry and brittle and if we are not careful the very life we cherish can be taken out of us. Or as I really want to say it, sucked out of us! Ezekial was guided to a valley of dry bones and to his amazement he was told to speak life unto them. Most of us will exit stage left when we are confronted with putting work or time into something or someone we view as dead. Let's be real...because we value time so much that we don't have time to waste time so if there is not a pulse in the situation, we move on.
But Ezekiel did not, I don't think he had a choice really! The hand of the Lord was upon him.
That spoke volumes to me...where you are is where God has allowed you to be and if you are in a dry place than He is saying something to you. Many people we know are in dry places for that matter some of us are in a dry place. Dryness can cause a desperation! When your finances are dry, you become desperate for relief. When your relationships are dry and non productive, you become desperate for "real" fellowship and companionship. There are mulitple areas of dryness in our lives. I say all of that to say this:
God places us in "dryness" to create desperation for HIM!
So if you are a little dry, seek HIM!
But Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33) Go check out all these things...
Blessings upon you and have a great week!
