John 7
Lynell McCrary
We have all experienced that intense feeling of being thirsty. I am not just talking about wanting something to drink, but the kind of thirst that drives you to quench it quickly.
As a runner, I know that it is very important to stay hydrated, especially during the summer, so that I can train and improve. Staying hydrated includes drinking water during the day, before exercising. If I don’t get fluids in my body before I exercise, my endurance is affected and I cannot perform at my best.
Our hearts should be even more thirsty for the Lord. As recorded in John 7:37, Jesus gives us the invitation to come and quench our thirst. By doing this throughout the day, we can endure challenges when they come our way.
How thirsty are you? Are you trying to quench your thirst with anything but Christ? You may find that the more you drink from (believe in) Christ, the more you desire His living water in your life.
