Living Water

Living Water

Human beings need to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Many of us (including me) don't drink enough water. In the summertime on hot humid days, nothing will satisfy you as a tall glass of cold water.
Many of us are parched and dying of thirst but it isn't a bottle of Poland Spring water that we thirst for. It is our hearts and our souls that are parched and it is only the True and Living Water that will satisfy. Psalm 42:1 "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God."
Jesus said to the Samaritan woman at the well "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." John 4:13-14. Only Jesus will be able to satisfy our spiritual thirst. Yet so many of us are dying of thirst....why when the answer to our thirst is so close?
A human being can't survive without water, it is essential to life. We can't survive without the Living Water that only comes from God. Are you thirsty? Are you parched? Open the Word of God and drink in His Truth, get to know God, pursue God, spend time with God. Not only will your thirst be satisfied but we will be filled to overflowing.
The answer to our thirst is simple...so what is still holding us back? Go and drink "Taste and see the Lord is good..." Psalm 34:8.
