What To Do When We're Thirsty

WHAT TO DO WHEN WE ARE THIRSTY

As the weather warms up we find ourselves thirsty while we are out and about. 

Nothing is more refreshing than a drink of cold clear water.

God uses our being thirsty to remind us of our soul’s deep need for God.

To be thirsty is natural.  To long for God is how we were created.

The only solution for physical thirst is to drink and for our spiritual thirst is to welcome God.

One day on a hot day when both he and a woman who came to the well were thirsty, Jesus said this:

“Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again. But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.”

John 4:13-14

In another place the Bible also promises us:

God satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things. 

Psalm 107:9

Aren’t we glad that Jesus promised us:

“Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’”

John 6:37-38

Heavenly Father, we thank you for lovely spring days with warm air and fresh growth.  Each time we’re thirsty and have a drink of water help us to remember that only You can satisfy that spiritual need inside each one of us.

Help us today to open our hearts and to welcome You to come and refresh us and renew us with Your water of life.  We need you.  We want you.  We welcome you.  Amen

Let’s be aware of our thirst for God and drink deeply of His love today.
