Thirsty
posted by Jennifer Ragland — March 2nd, 2010
I know we all get to a point in life where we just feel so exhausted and tired of the things of this world. We become busy, burdened, burned-out, strained, stressed, stretched and the list could go on. Why do we let ourselves get to this point before we see how thirsty we are for our Savior? In John 7:37, 38 we read “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” Lately I have felt so many different emotions with all this past year has left me with I am longing for a refreshing drink of water for my soul that only the Lord can give.
When Chris and I were dating we went through a study by Max Lucado called Come Thirsty. I think it is time to revisit this study and take a drink from the Father. I would recommend it to everyone! “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” Matthew 5:6. I am weak and weary and need the nourishment from the one who gave us life.
Prayer: Lord help me to seek you first and come thirsty before you for more of you. Lord refresh my soul so that I may bring glory to Your name. Lord I want rivers of living water to flow from my heart! Give me the energy and strength I need.
"The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail." Isaiah 58:11
Thanks for your prayers!
