A man came upon a"); document.writeln("wooden well bucket. As he inspected it, he decided it was useless because it"); document.writeln("had been sitting next to a barn in the sun, unused for a long time. He could"); document.writeln("see daylight between the wooden slats of the bucket. Certainly, this thing"); document.writeln("would never hold water again. But an older man, who was with him, tied the"); document.writeln("bucket to the well rope and let it drop into the water below. In a couple of"); document.writeln("days they came back and turned the crank to draw the bucket back up. It was"); document.writeln("full of clear, cool well water and was not leaking a drop. The water had"); document.writeln("re-hydrated the wooden slats until they fit together as originally designed. The bucket was useful again and ready to be used as intended.3

Maybe you have been"); document.writeln("spiritually sitting out in the sun for too long. Your soul is feeling dried up"); document.writeln("and cracked. Jesus says, Come to me! (Mat. 11:28) The Lord has seen your"); document.writeln("worth and wants to use you for His glory once again. Be rehydrated in His Word"); document.writeln("and allow It to refresh you and fill you with the joy of renewal.

"); document.writeln("

Suggested prayer: Dear"); document.writeln("Lord, I have been away from you long enough to feel dry. I long to be used by"); document.writeln("you again and so I come to you asking you to water my soul with the cool"); document.writeln("refreshment of your Spirit and make me worthy of your glory once again. In the"); document.writeln("name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
