Why is seeking the Lord important during a spiritual famine?

During a spiritual famine, seeking the Lord becomes essential for a believer to regain spiritual vitality. As seen in the example of David in 2 Samuel 21, after three years of famine, he finally inquired of the Lord to discern the reason behind the drought. Instead of relying on human solutions or activity to remedy the lack of divine sustenance, we are called to urgently seek God. It is in this pursuit that He reveals the underlying causes of our spiritual malaise, often highlighting our sin and our need for repentance. Additionally, through seeking Him diligently in prayer and the Scriptures, we have the promise that He will be found, and our spiritual hunger can be satisfied by His grace.
