The word for today is - Thirsty !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Thirsty !

 

Let's look at John 7: 37-38,In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.To be spiritually thirsty is something different then water,it means that people who want righteousness thirst for it like water. To thirst after righteousness means wanting to live according to God's will instead of the world's way of living. Read Matthew 5:6, Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled .God will quench the thirst of those who desire him as a man walking in the desert with a dry canteen craves water. There's nothing casual about this kind of thirst.  Ask yourself this question, Where are you looking to satisfy your "deepest desires" or your "satifaction"? Let's look at it the way David says it in Psalm 63:1,O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Do you know that God should be enough for you ? What are people so desperate about, they are wanting something more.  It causes people to search, hard, for something that is right there within reach, it's in Jesus (God’s Presence).Some people are walking around an around looking and looking, then they say I still haven't found what I'm looking for. Why? Because, Your looking for it in a man or woman, or something that can not keep you well satisfied, this goes on and on in an endless cycle (for years). But, you still dissatisfied why? Because your not looking for Jesus.There is no need for anyone to ever be hungry or thirsty, His word tells all people in Isaiah 55:1-2,Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. This is the abundance! Do you want to be full? Look to Jesus read it for yourself; Psalm 107:9, " For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness". Then Jesus declared in John 6:35, "I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst". Here I am ! Revelation 3:20, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him and will sup with him, and he with me ". The truth is the only reason you are desperate, hungry, thirsty, empty and dissatisfied is because you left your first love, Jesus ! Who is The Hope of Glory, The Bread of Life,The Living Water  and the Prince of Peace. Return to Your First love Jesus ! Drink of His living water, and you will never be thirsty! Thank you God for your word. Amen !
