Surely, there are experiences of "dryness" before the Lord. We feel that God is so far away and we are not worthy to be near Him. This was exactly what the Israelites felt especially God had made clear that they needed to be in the wilderness until all from that generation passed away due to their unbelief of entering the Promised Land. Nevertheless, at the end of the 40 years, in Deuteronomy 2:7, God actually said, "For the Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand. He knows your trudging through this great wilderness. These forty years the Lord your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.” This is an excellent example of displaying His holiness IN LOVE. Take note that our God is holy - we will have to bear the consequences of our continual disobedience or unbelief BUT at the same time God cares enough to see to it that all our needs are met! https://twitter.com/EstherOngHC
