Are You Thirsty

“As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God” (Ps. 42:1). Have you ever been so thirsty for water that you thought, "if I don't get some water I will die?" If you find a cup of coffee or a glass of kool-ade you will try to quench your thirst with that. When we are thirsty we will try to settle our thirst with just about anything. Have you ever felt a thirst like this for the Lord? Alot of us are trying to settle our thirst with all kinds of things in place of God. The truth is, we are created with an inward thirst that only God can fill When we are thirsty like this, we should fall on our face and stay there till God pours out His Spirit upon us. Then we can just drink (saturate ourselves in)the love of God till our thirst is quenched. Do you long for something this world can’t provide? This is a thirst of the soul for God. “He satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness” (Ps. 107:9). My hunger for the truth He satisfies; Upon the Word, the Living Bread, I feed: No parching thirst I know, because His grace, A pool of endless depth, supplies my need. —Sanders Only Jesus, the Living Water, can satisfy the thirsty soul.
