SPIRITUAL DRY SEASONS

SPIRITUAL DRY SEASONS When have been the most miserable times in your christian experience? Have they not been when you became stagnant as far as growth was concerned? Have they not been when you became complacent and indifferent. You weren’t spending much time in the word, you weren’t diligent in prayer, you weren’t ministering to other people, love was not abundantly flowing through your life to others. You may have lost the joy of your salvation. When has the joy been there in it’s fulness? Has it not been in those times when you did confess to the Lord, "Lord thy love for me is great?" and as the hymnwriter says, "my love in return to you is terribly faint and weak," and then the Lord strengthens you and opened up His word to you and touched your heart by a gospel message. He lifted you up above your doubts and your fears and the troubles of life and you saw and knew the greatness and beauty and glory of Jesus Christ.
