Dealing with the Dry Times
The holidays are meant to be a time of gratitude and joy, when we thank God for all He’s given us and celebrate with those we love. But what if we feel distant from God and spiritually dry? How do we praise Him when our hearts don’t feel particularly joyful? King David wrestled with that same dilemma, and in Psalm 63 he provides us with a model for how to recover our joy when it’s hard to find. In moments of spiritual dryness, David encourages us to reflect on God’s character, remember God’s faithfulness, and trust in God’s promises.
