Good morning…
One line lingers from yesterday’s “sue2you” message. “Oh honey, even the saints had spiritual dry spells!”
It strikes me that spiritual “dry spells” are not really dry. Actually, dry spells of the Spirit are quite often wet. Wet with weeping. Moist with meaning. Damp with deep desire. Spiritual “dry spells” carry us downstream toward the Savior of our souls.
In fact, when God spoke light into the damp darkness existing before creation began, He purposefully did not keep on the light 24/7. In Genesis 1:2-5 (NIV) we read: Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. (Prehistoric waters were certainly wet!) And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
Every day since that very first day, our Creator has orchestrated the eternal rhythm originally set in motion. Light and dark. Day and night. Light and dark. Day and night. Light and dark. Day and night.
If this dependable rhythm is designed by the Creator of the universe, why are we so afraid of the dark, damp “dry spells” of the Spirit?
Even the darkness is not dark to You and conceals nothing from You, but the night shines as bright as the day; Darkness and light are alike to You (Psalm 139:12, AMP).
