Spiritually dry times are usually the result of an inward focus. It’s true that we need to spend time letting God search our hearts for sin issues that may be the cause of the distance we feel from God. But we must not get caught up in the pit of “it’s all about me” _what am I doing wrong, how can I get out of this funk, etc. The psalmist wrote, “Help us, O God our Savior, for the glory of your name; deliver us and forgive our sins for your name’s sake.” (Psalm 79:9) Did you catch it? We are to seek forgiveness for His names sake and not just so that we can feel better.
The enemy will use anything he can to distract us _ to make it about us _ to redirect our time, energy and worship away from anything that supports the “supremacy of Christ”. So focus on Jesus _ praise Him in both word and deed _ tell Him how much you love Him and then prove it by living a God-pleasing life.
“For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the first born from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.” (Colossians 1:16-18)
