Maybe this is what Dry is?

I have heard christians use the phrase "dry season" before, but I don't think I knew what it meant. Now I may have an idea...

Yesterday I went thru my Bible Study homework like it was just that, homework. It was as if I was doing my English homework. And when I closed the workbook, my heart sank because I felt like I had brushed my hand over the Bible cover, but had not let my study take root. And I felt parched.

What is the point of Bible Study, if we are not letting the study change us? If we don't allow the Breath of GOD to read over us, who wouldn't be dry.

This is a new experience for me, and I hated it. I felt so ashamed that I had such a casual time in study, I am going to go over my homework again.

A couple of things that came to mind as to why this happened:

I was tired.
I was preoccupied
I didn't prepare and pray and allow GOD to focus me.

I don't want the scriptures I take in to be like billboards I see on the freeway. Fleeting and barely there in my memory. I want them to be rooted in my heart and spirit!
