The Unquenchable Thirst

You know those days that you don’t drink much water and at the end of the day you go to take a sip of something and realize “I’m really thirsty!”?  Maybe you were so busy during the day that you didn’t have much time to stop and get a drink.  Maybe you were so busy that you didn’t even realize that you were thirsty.  But when you take that first sip of water you realize “Man, this is some good stuff.  Why didn’t I have more of this today?”  I know I’ve had days like that.  Spiritual thirst is no different.

Psalm 143:6 – “I stretch out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land.”

With the hustle and bustle of today’s life style, a lot of people forget to take time out of the day to spend time praying or in the Word.  This is definitely something I struggle with.  It’s hard to live the busy American life and still make time for God when you start to forget that you are thirsty for Him.  But after some time without going to our Heavenly Father, taking that sip is so refreshing.  Then you realize, this is good stuff and you want more of it.

A lot of the time, it’s easy to forget how thirsty we are for Him to fill us with His living water (see John 4:14).  Spending time in the Word and keeping a constant prayer line open with God is the best way to fill yourself with His living water.  I would like to encourage you to begin a routine and set a certain time each day to spend time with God.  You will never regret time spent in His presence!

They’re just words… ‘till you let Him fill you with His living water!
