Dry Patches of Life

Are you going through a dry patch? Feeling spiritually stranded? Well, David felt that way too (Psalm 6:6) so know that you are NOT alone! We all go through dry patches in our walk with the Lord.

There is a very simple solution to this. God promises to refresh us and refill us. (Isaiah 44:3; Jeremiah 31:25) Jesus tells us to "come all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest" (Mat...thew 11:28-29). Jesus says many times in the New Testament to "come". He tells the little children to "come" for the kingdom of heaven belongs to them (Matthew 19:14). He told Zaccheus to "come" down out of a tree so he could go to his house when all Zaccheus wanted to do was get a quick look at Jesus (Luke 19:5). Jesus said whoever "comes" to him he will never drive away (John 6:37). Jesus even raised Lazarus from the dead by saying "come out" (John 11:43) And Jesus said if anyone is thirsty, let him "come" and he would give them a drink and streams of living water will flow from within him(John 7:37-38).

 So, the next time you are feeling dry, "come" to Jesus and he will refresh and refill you!
