Fighting Dryness
"There was no water for the congregation, and they assembled themselves against Moses and Aaron. Num 20:3 The people thus contended with Moses and spoke, saying, "If only we had perished when our brothers perished before the LORD! Num 20:4 "Why then have you brought the LORD'S assembly into this wilderness, for us and our beasts to die here?" (Num 20:2–4 NAS95)
Times in God moving us to our destiny we encounter wilderness experiences that will lead us to dry places. It is in these times of dryness is when we should focus on the Living Water.
The alternative is "For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, The fountain of living waters, To hew for themselves cisterns, Broken cisterns That can hold no water" (Jer. 2:13 NAS95). When we forsake God we go to broken cisterns that will never satisfy or even give relief. God is the only one who can satisfy us.
Prayer:
God, you are all I need and desire. I repent for allowing comforts of the world to make me think I was satisfied when only you can bring peace in my life. Lord, you are my desire; it is you and you alone. Amen.
