Ask!
The parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water Isaiah 35:7
If there is dryness within your soul, you need not grieve or chide yourself for being empty. Fill up the empty place with praise. The King will enter and bring His glory.
For the promise of the Father is the gift of the indwelling presence of My Holy Spirit (see Acts 2:38-39)
It is written: "How much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him" (Luke 11:13)! Ask, and you shall receive, and your joy shall be full.
Do we feel dry and empty? God doesn't want it that way. When I read this I thought of what we are experiencing in North Dakota, flooding and snow, We aren't appreciating it one bit, But God does want to flood our hearts with his presence and he does want to fill us with his joy, He is waiting, and desires to meet our every need. Come to him with an open heart, one ready to receive all that he has for us. As the author suggests, fill the empty place with praise, it might take some effort but God is waiting there for us.
Father, we give you this day, we thank you for your protection and care. Guide our steps and direct our path, lead us into a closer relationship with you. In Jesus Name. Amen
Yesterday was a day at home, sewing and studying were the order for the day. It snowed some, otherwise it was a quiet day, we spent time watching the news and what is happening in other parts of the state.
