Water Me!

“The Lord says, “I am the one who strengthens you. Why should you fear mortals, who are no more enduring than grass?”  Isaiah 51:12 GNT

     When I read the above scripture, my first thought was, “Lord, there is a  drought going on here. I need rain or my grass is surely going to die. It needs watering.” That was, indeed, my selfish material desire at work. What is more important? My grass getting watered or my soul being watered? 

     My first thought should have been, “Lord, water me! Strengthen me! Nourish me! Feed me with Your word.” 

Water to Quench the Thirst

     During the past weeks, it has been hard to find water and then when I do, I am limited to how much I can buy.  The one consolation I have is in knowing that I possess the One water which will quench my thirst.  I need not look for it, and it comes with no cost to me.  If I am truly thirsty and my throat is dry, I can look to the One who came, for me, to die. I look forward to the coming celebration of Jesus' mighty resurrection.

John 4:14 "But whosoever drinketh of the water I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." 

A Cool Drink of Water



 

     If anyone really wants a refreshing, cool drink of water, try a relationship with God.  John 4:14 "But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."
