I find that when going through a time of dryness (the desert) that the enemy will try to take that time and deceive us into doubting the word of God. That is always his plan. It worked in the garden and has throughout history. It has proven to be effective in turning man's hearts from God. As we work through the stuff that Satan throws at us, we need to take those lies and bring them before the Holy Spirit. As hard as that may seem, no matter how we feel, we need to stand firmly on the word of God, without any doubt knowing that He is always faithful to His promises. Regardless of what we see or how we feel, His truth is solid and He is faithful to it. Somewhere in our feelings of self-pity we need to remember that God has not moved from us, but maybe we have distanced ourselves, or there is something that the Holy Spirit wants to teach us, but we haven't allowed Him too, so He will get our attention. I find this to be more of the truth. I want to encourage you that when you find yourself in a season of dryness that instead of asking why me, ask what am I supposed to learn through this season? What am I to do with what you are teaching me? And to continue to seek Him no matter your feelings or what you see. God is always faithful. The photo of the sun raising on the horizon was taken after a night of stormy weather. It reminds me of coming out of the desert. His radiant presence after our season of dryness. He was always there but we couldn't completely see Him. According to His word in Deuteronomy 7:9 [AMP] "Therefore know [without any doubt] and understand that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God, who is keeping His covenant and His [steadfast] lovingkindness to a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments" Continue to seek the face of God, He has promised that if we seek Him with our whole heart, He will be found. His Promise! Don't let the enemy get a foothold. God loves you and will never leave you. Don't be deceived, don't let doubt creep in. Our God is faithful! Take and drink of His living water and let it restore your dry and thirsty soul. What is He teaching you today? You are so valuable and loved by Jesus! Rejoice in Him. #hisrefugefarm
