For the first time in a long time I felt the Spirit along side me as I read. If you know me personally you know I love my Bibles (yes plural I have four I rotate through). The last two years have felt like a bit of a dry season. I do not know how to put it into words the season I have been walking through.

A season where I was reading the Word everyday but not feeling hope. Where I would finish reading and just think where are you Lord? Where is this peace I use to feel? If I am honest I was beginning to think I may not feel his joy on this side of heaven again. But then I also knew this was not true because God’s Word says we can have the joy of the Lord as our strength. The margins in my Bible did not get much scribble the last two years… Which is weird because I am one who writes prayers and notes with dates… 2021 had a lot of notes but it goes kind of blank…

I knew I had to keep staying in the Word even if I still felt hungry after reading because without it I can not even begin to think how much lower i would of got… Today I was in the Old Testament and right there on the pages I saw the Scripture Jesus quoted to Satan when he was being tempted and I wept. In the Lent season the Holy Spirit reminded me of what Jesus did…

I frantically started circling and writing. It was like my lungs are filled with air… This lead to true worship on my run, which caused tears and a cleansing of my soul…. Maybe God was being quite so I would be quite… Maybe I needed to stop talking and start listening…

If you are in a dry season wondering where He is. I challenge you to keep reading His Word he will bring you the living water you need… I am praying you…
