Default If Anyone is Thirsty

If Anyone is Thirsty

"If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." John 7:37,38

Have you ever been thirsty? The craving for water can be overwhelming and all-consuming at times. Our mouths are dry and parched and the desire for water is intense. Nothing will satisfy us until we drink that glass of water. Jesus tells us he is living water; he is the one that can quench our thirst. Prior to realizing the need for salvation, we each lived in a desert; parched and dry, desperate for water. The need for Christ was overwhelming. When we found him, we drank and our thirst was quenched! At salvation, Jesus comes to live within us. We no longer have to seek water; streams of living water flow from within us! Christ Jesus is the source of this spring. It flows from him and we never need thirst again. What a blessed thought! In Israel, at the time of Christ, there were many streams of water, but many were deadly, or polluted. They had to be careful where they drank; some water was bitter, some water was even deadly. Only Christ Jesus brings sweet, satisfying, living water! This water brings life to not only us, but flows through us to others, bringing life to them as well!

Father, thank you for Jesus Christ and the salvation he brings! Thank you for quenching my thirst with Christ. May the living waters that spring up in my life because of him flow to all around me, bringing life to them as well. Thank you for the invitation to drink and the promise that I will never thirst again! Amen.
--Quiet Waters
