Day 13 – Thirsting
Psalms 42:1-2 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
What a convicting passage! Do I thirst after the Lord and the things of God as the deer pants after water? Ouch!
The bread and water of life are ours because of Jesus Christ. He has provided His own flesh and blood to purchase our very salvation. What love! He doesn’t stop there – He has provided us with the Scriptures that we can turn to on a daily basis to satisfy our deepest longings.
On a really hot day, isn’t it wonderful to pour yourself a nice tall glass of water or iced tea? How wonderful it feels going down our parched throat! We ought have that same urgent desire for the things of God! This is so convicting to me.
John 4:13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
It’s so important to stay on top of our spiritual walk. We can easily become side tracked and our sense of urgency for the things of God diminishes. Oh that we would keep our eyes focused on the One above!! Holy Spirit, please prick our hearts – dig up the hardened soil and water it with the words of life. Help us to turn around and head in the right direction once again!
