Most of you will identify with having or having had tough times or situations. I think this is something that is common to all humanity. Into this scene of difficulty Jesus came as a "root out of dry ground" to minister to everyone who will allow Him into their lives. I struggled with this theme for some years until I finally found the answer to this "root out of dry ground."
What it means to me is that Jesus came into a very dry, desperate world where spiritual growth and life was in a very dry, almost untenable state. Into this dry world where there had been no prophet to speak for God for some three to four hundred years Jesus came. In other words God sent Him into the most unlikely place and time because hard times seems to waken many to the reality that there must be more than what they are seeing, feeling or experiencing. Jesus then brought life into this dry situation where he left the message and task to the twelve plus the many disciples who would follow and grow in places that were dry where life would then spring forth with vigor despite the situation.
Do you see where We are going today? You may be in a most desperate, dry and seeming hopeless situation yet God is not hindered by these situations as He has no hindrance other than our own refusal to believe and submit to Him. God came into my life in a most desperate time and has done nothing less than a miracle for these last fourty-four years. Our dry, desperate situation is no hindrance to the living God who will be glorified as your needs are met.
Put your faith and trust in God and He will meet your need.
