We are discussing the messiness of a season of drought. Are you in a season of dryness? Are you tearful, confused, frustrated, and disappointed with each day? Do you feel abandoned by our Living King and alone. A season of dryness is when your faith feels like it is at its weakest, when everything around you seem to be falling apart and you’re straining to perceive the Lord at work in your situation, but cannot see anything. And a drought season can be a time of spiritual exhaustion, a sense of isolation from the Lord’s presence, a vulnerable time when your faith is tested, stressed or under attack from the enemy. But Jesus said there will always be rivers of living water for us- and during a drought we need to lean on that promise! Let’s look at scripture: Jeremiah 17 verses 7-8 says:

“But blessed are those who trust in the Lord
and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank,with roots that reach deep into the water.
Such trees are not bothered by the heat
or worried by long months of drought.
Their leaves stay green,
and they never stop producing fruit.”
Notice that as the tree is planted close to the water, its roots reach deep into the riverbank preventing it from the effects of drought or heat. So it is with the Daughter of the Living King, when we trust in the Living King, our roots are deep and although we may have seasons of drought, our hope and confidence remains strong, and we do not stop producing the fruit of the Holy Spirit. If you are the daughter or son of the Lord, then you are planted right next to His living water and we can know without any question that the Lord is near. Praise God, in times of drought, we can know that our Living King is not far off. And In Psalm 34:18 we read, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.”
Let’s reflect on this scripture for a moment. Spiritual dryness leaves us thirsty. But unless we thirst, we won’t draw near to the One who can give us living water. So, the key to overcoming spiritual dryness is to reposition our minds to come to Jesus and drink fully and freely from the river of His living water!
When we abide in Christ through any season—whether dry or plentiful—we will have the capacity to bear fruit through the empowerment of His Spirit and the goodness of His bountiful grace that knows no season.
