Today in church John 17 was read. It is the chapter about the vine and the branches. Then it hit me, "Well duh! What happens when a branch is no longer attached to the vine, it withers!" That is me as of lately. I feel withered and fruitless. I feel dry, crinkled and almost dead. Today I totally get it! It is because I haven't been connected to Jesus very much lately. My prayer life is in need of attention, my Bible study has been suffering greatly (although I do have 3 studies on my desk to work on each day, there they sit.) my time of praise and worship is non-existent! So why do I feel fruitless and dead? Well duh.
It's the vine stupid! You know the "snickers satisfies" commercials? They are so wrong! There is only one thing that satisfies! Connecting with the vine. Not just a come closer to it, but connecting to it.
I think I will go hit a study now and get some connections started.
What do you mean by "feeling dry"? And how do you recognize it?
