Water that quenches
In John 4:13-14 it says:
‘Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.’ [NIV]
When God created the world – He included water, when God formed man – He included water, when God sustains man – He includes water. Our essential need for water is no accident, God knew what He was doing on both a physical and a spiritual level.
Jesus talks of our need to quench our souls with spiritual water. So what does this mean to us? How can we drink this water that Jesus gives?
- Spend time talking and listening to God, allowing Him to refresh you, build you and strengthen you with His love.
- Read the living word of the Bible, allowing God to reveal new things to you and shower your mind with His promises.
- Say sorry for the things you have done wrong, allowing God to cleanse you, heal you, renew you and fill you with His love that flows out to others.
Prayer:
Precious Father, thank you for your spiritual water. May I come to you with an open heart and mind and ask that you would fill me afresh, so that your love may bubble up and touch the lives of all I meet today. Amen.
