Have you
had your Joy Juice today? When we hit a
“dry spell”, we should earnestly thirst for the joy juice of Jesus!
In our
lives, each of us will have “mountain top” experiences; and we will go through
some deep valleys. If we remained on the
mountain top all the time, we would begin to take God’s blessings for granted!
It’s in the valleys that we learn the most about God’s faithfulness.
One valley
that we may “visit” from time to time is “Dry Valley”….that
place where we feel alone and as if God may have forgotten us. We try to pray, yet we see no evidence of our
prayers being answered. In the pit of
the valley, we feel a distance in our relationship with God.
David visited
“Dry Valley”
when he was in the wilderness of Judah. It was there where he penned these words
found in Psalm 63:1:
“O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek
you; my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.”
my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.”
Sounds as if David was truly thirsty, doesn’t
it? Thirsty for God! When we find
ourselves in “Dry
Valley”, instead of
pitching our tent and staying there, let’s remember David and cry out to the
Lord, as he did. May we earnestly seek
Him….and find satisfying, quenching JOY
in Him!
If
you are in Dry Valley, do NOT build a home there! Find
the streams of Living Water and be refreshed as you bathe in the rivers of His
JOY!
