Our surroundings are far more dry and parched than we realize. We can be so busy bustling about our day, going to work, running errands, meeting with people, and traveling to and fro, that we fail to notice that our environment is parching our soul.
We live in a spiritually dry environment. Conversations, sin, greed, pride, and a blatant disregard for God and His standards, has an adverse effect upon our walk with God. We may not even realize that our secular conversations and the continual bombardment of hedonistic advertisements are withering our soul.
The business world in which many of us work is often characterized by greed and dishonesty. Many people are motivated to get all they can in their frenetic pursuit of material gain. But these attitudes rub off on us. Our soul becomes hardened in order to survive. Our heart becomes dry, due to lack of nourishment.
So it is crucial that we seek God, in a dry and thirsty land. We may not find spiritual water from our workplace, but in Christ we find a refreshing spring, that will always satisfy. Have you become spiritually parched? Return quickly to the well.
