Dry Spell


Have you ever had a dry spell? There is nothing wrong everything is wonderful but down deep within the well is dry. This is where I have been for a few days. I ask my lovely wife to pray for me and she has been doing just that all week. God truly blessed me with a wonderful spouse to help me through times like these. God is so good one can never repay him for his love and care.

Join me in the word today in Hebrews 13 as we find a way to have:


“Service will pleasing to God.”


1Let brotherly love continue.
2Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
3Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.
4Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
5Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
6So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
7Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
8Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
12Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
13Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
14For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
15By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
16But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
17Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

There is so much food here it was hard to condense it. Everyone is worried about our economy. Actually to be honest each one is concerned about there individual family. The 5th verse tells us to be content and to remember he will not leave us nor forsake us.

With our little pea brain this is hard to swallow when we are losing homes and jobs and any hope of what to do. However, I encourage you to cling to God’s word and be at peace and good cheer because his promises are everlasting. Continue to do the good things you have been doing. The devil is a liar and the author of confusion. Satan will not stand by you, he will forsake you and his promises lead to destruction.

On a side note I read one good thing about our economy, divorces have decreased. People are having to band together to make things happen in their life. Praise the Lord.

Finally, take the 18th verse and let’s join together in prayer that we have a good conscience and live honestly and do “Service well pleasing to God.”

18Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.

Remember:

If you have missed knowing me, you have missed nothing. If you have missed some of my emails, you have missed a laugh or an uplifting word.
But, if you have missed knowing my LORD and SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, you have missed everything in the world.

1John 1:9 “If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
