My fishpond did completely dry out, and I had to move my fish, Mathew, Mark, Luke and John, to the smaller one.  I also added a new fish, a solid white one, that I’ll call Spirit.  It was a present to myself for finishing school. While the big pond was empty though, I thought I would dig it out a little deeper and wider, so that it would hold more water and maybe not dry out so often.  As I was walking out today to see if the rain had filled it up any, I thought about how we can all dry out spiritually at times.  God showed me as I stared into that half-filled pond, that often we just need to dig deep and pray for rain, so that God can fill us up again with that wonderful water of life!  Sometimes we pray for rain, but don’t work for it, and sometimes God just wants us to work for it! He wants us to get down in the bottom of our hearts, and get dirty, and just dig until we see water!  I worked blisters on my hands digging it out some more, and maybe we should work that hard to be filled up again.  God will send the rain eventually, but we need to be willing to get our hands dirty, so that we can hold more water.  If we stay at the same level we’ve been for too long, then we will dry out quickly when the heat is on!  The Son is coming, and we need to be prepared spiritually for His arrival.  So if you don’t want to dry out spiritually, then dig deep and pray for rain!  God bless and go fish!
