When we become dry, spiritually, what we need is a good soak: Like having a hot bath, we need to soak in God’s presence for a while and become drenched; totally immersed in the Spirit. You know how a houseplant left in a pot and allowed to dry out for too long, how the soil shrinks and cracks and becomes hard, like baked clay? And then when you pour water on it, the soil is so dry it just runs straight off. Sometimes Christians get like that… Oh, they don’t mean to – they just neglect to drink the living water and become so dry that church, prayer, Bible time, just touches the surface and runs off without making any real difference. If that’s you, what you need is a really good soak in God’s presence for a while, to be drenched and totally immersed in the Spirit.
