Scripture Focus
“Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.” – Psalm 119:18
Devotional Message-Day 17
We don’t always talk about it, but it happens:
You open the Bible… and nothing stirs. No lightbulb moment. No warm feeling. Just ink on a page.
You wonder, What’s wrong with me? Why does this feel so dry?
Here’s the truth: the Bible isn’t broken—and neither are you.
Spiritual dryness is part of every believer’s journey. It’s not a sign of failure; it’s an invitation to press in differently.
Sometimes we expect emotional fireworks.
But faith grows not just in the aha! moments—but in the faithful, ordinary ones.
When Scripture feels flat, ask God to open your eyes, not just your mind.
Slow down. Read smaller portions. Meditate on one verse.
Ask, “God, what are You saying to me here?” and wait.
And remember, the same God who met you in the highs will meet you in the quiet valleys—where faith is formed, roots go deep, and the Word works even when you don’t feel it.
Reflection Prompt
Have you experienced spiritual dryness while reading the Bible? What helped you stay consistent or reconnect during that time?
Prayer
Lord, sometimes Your Word feels distant or hard to connect with. But I believe it's still alive. Open my eyes. Refresh my heart. Let me fall in love with Your Word again. Amen.
Closer Still – Action Step
Choose one short passage today—maybe just a verse or two. Read it slowly. Then write it out, reflect on it, and ask: “God, what do You want me to see or carry from this today?”
