Sunday Drive - Are You Thirsty?

Are You Thirsty?

There is nothing like a big drink of cool water on a hot day or after a workout. It refreshes and restores our body.

Why do we thirst? It's because our Creator designed our body to need water. It's a signal that we are dehydrated that our fluid levels are low and we must listen and replenish.

We are were also created to thirst for God. We can become dehydrated without communion with Him. When we get too busy, or put God on the back burner, we're going to start feeling parched.

But God has an unlimited amount of free refreshing water!

Revelation 21:6 (NLT)
6 And he also said, “It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life.

We can drink deeply from the spring of the water of life! When we do that He fills us, refreshes us and renews us. We can have as much as we want!

Psalms 63:1 (NLT)
1 O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water.

We live in a dry parched land. It also loves to distract us from taking time to drink from the well of God. However, we NEED water to live! We need His water!

John 4:14 (NLT)
14 But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.”

When you start feeling thirsty, that's your sign. Drinking water is necessary. It sustains life even more than eating. Drinking spiritual water is crucial to our spiritual health. Jesus is the way to satisfy that thirst.

Isaiah 12:3 (NLT)
3 With joy you will drink deeply from the fountain of salvation!

Drink deeply from the fountain of salvation. Drink daily! Fill your reservoir to overflowing. 

Matthew 5:6 (NLT)
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
