07.09.10_dry places

 Praise the LORD!!!

    I've not posted recently and I feel I should explain why this has happened. As many of you may know, I've been working two jobs to cover the cost of living and running the ministry on my own! With working these two jobs I've had very little time to spend in the WORD. I read several devotionals personally, but have had very little time to do much else online. Most that I've had time to do has been checking emails and an occasional post in reply to a comment on one of my many networked site.

    When it comes to writing these devotionals, something I don't take lightly, I spend many an hour online going over the comments left online. In this I'm led to relate that which the LORD inspires me to write. Here lately, I seem to be going through a "dry place," a place where GOD hasn't been laying topics upon my heart to pass on. Most Christians know these 'dry places' in their walks. Not that GOD has left us, but that they're at times a place of needed rest. A time to relax and maybe ponder things that have been happening within our lives and walks with the LORD! I had been posting devotions from previous post at times, but with this last week plus, I've not been led to do even this. You can totally believe that this has been a matter of great prayer. But the only answer I've received has been, "in MY time." I think most of you know what that means, so I'll not go deeper into it. GOD has HIS timetable and all things happen according to it. We can push the issue and pay the price or like I'm currently doing, wait for HIS time to come. I know there will be devotionals in the future, but HIS will will be the issue that brings these into being.

    The best thing I could say at this time would be to go over the archives of previous post, let the LORD lead you in this, and enjoy. For the time is coming when the posting here will begin again and I've a feeling that there will be some weighty issues to be posted upon!!!
