WHEN THE WELL RUNS DRY

When the well runs dry, you get desperate, because you know you have to go the extra mile to find water. Most wells usually run dry during the dry season.

The dry season is a time of hardship, scarcity, desperation and heat. Even in the wild, its not the right season to bring forth offspring, because its around that time when both predator and prey share the same drinking spot almost at the same time, the almost dried up water bodies, its survival of the fittest. During the dry season, the well becomes our sole source of water, metaphorically speaking, in our daily lives, its our last resort of hope. At some point in your life, you will experience a bitter dry season, a time of drought and despair. Things will go from bad to worse, some of the people you trusted most will turn their back on you, a shock that will take you sometime to get over and just when you thought it won't get any worst, your well will run dry. That little light of hope will shine no more and you will feel like you are at a dead end.

During such times and at all times, trust God no matter what and let others see Him in you by obeying His word, being faithful to Him, learning and sharing His word with others. As a Christian, you are like a book, people are reading you page by page, so let what they see lead them to Christ. Bear in mind that as bad as the dry season may seem, it needs to come to provide enough heat for evaporation, just so the rains can fall, paving way for the wet season. That season of green and plenty, a season that will fill up your well once again. Those hardships come to test your faith in God(James 1:2-3), if you can stay faithful to God in your bad times, you can stay faithful to God in your good times, in all things thank and submit to God by trusting and obeying Him.

Your well will be full again by God's grace and that WELL OF FAILURE,will surely run DRY! Amen.
