Awakening to Life – Let the dryness drive your roots deeper

Last year, we learned that in quietness and rest, strength arises. That hasn’t changed. But something is happening in that quiet place. He is leading us, gently but firmly, into something new, an awakening to life, to Arise and Shine. We are learning to stay close to Jesus, yoked to Him. And yet many of us are feeling a heaviness, a sense of despondency, a loss of hope, a dryness. That’s real, and it matters, but we don’t stop there. We remember the cross, but often forget the resurrection. Jesus didn’t only die, He rose. And His rising is meant to awaken something in us now. God is still bringing things back to life. So we let hunger grow. We let thirst deepen. Because if we’re not hungry, we won’t eat. If we’re not thirsty, we won’t drink. Let the dryness drive your roots deeper. This week, we’re invited to camp in: Matthew 22 (The Wedding Banquet) Luke 14 (The Great Banquet)
