Dry Cry
1 Samuel 3
3 Now the boy Samuel ministered to the Lord before Eli. And the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no widespread revelation.
“ The word of the Lord was rare in those days “ what an alarming statement!
As I sat this morning really drained from the last two years of pandemic squeeze (winter not helping either) I was asking the Lord in prayer “Why is it that your people are not hearing a clear word from you about what is going on with this thing and when is it going to end and what should we do?.” There’s so much confusion and varying opinions about everything, that it is mentally fatiguing to say the least. I felt so “DRY” in such a state of malaise. This stirring in the depths of my soul caused a “CRY” unto the Lord. Then I heard the word from the book of 1st Samuel and I realized what this “DRY CRY” was about. There are times, when we as believers, may not hear clearly from God, both individually as well as collectively. I believe this time we’re in is a “collective deafening” of hearing and I can’t say I know why for certain, otherwise I’d readily give you the word I heard.
What I do know though, is that we must continue to press in to seek the Lord, perhaps to fast and pray until His Light breaks forth out of this darkness we’re in. It took Samuel 3 times to finally recognize His voice.
If you know Christ in a personal way, then do not think He has forsaken us “Never will I forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). If you do not know God in a deeper personal way, then I suggest you begin to “Seek and you shall find “ (Matthew 7:7)
Either way the Dry Cry may turn the desert into streams of living water. Lord we pray “speak for your servants are listening.”
