Water
Today my thoughts are about spiritual thirst and what it takes to quench that thirst. When I work in the fields all day, it seems I can never get enough water to quench my natural thirst, although I keep water with me. Just as water is essential for every function of our physical being, spiritual water is essential for our spiritual soul. Jesus met the Samaritan woman at the well and told her that she could find living water in that she would never thirst again, spiritually.
Isaiah 55:1 says “Ho, everyone that thirsteth, come ye to the water,......”.
Isaiah 12:3 “Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation”.
Revelation 22:17b “And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”
There is an old hymn that goes like this:
“There is a fountain free, this for you and me
Let us haste, oh Haste to the brink.
Tis a fount of love, from the source above,
And He bid us all freely drink.
Will you come, to the fountain free?
Will you come, tis for you and me?
Thirst soul, hear the welcome call.
Tis a fountain open for for all”.
If you are spiritually thirsty, you can find that free water in Jesus today!
Lord, thank you for providing free water of salvation for me. Although I sometimes get spiritually thirsty, your well of “living water” is always available to me.
