So, I was dreaming last night that I kept drinking water
over and over. I would get a 20 oz bottle, open it up, drink it down and throw
it away. I did this about 8 times. And I was still thirsty. I woke this morning
thirsty too. I drank a 20 oz of water, then got a Large Vanilla Iced Coffee
from McDonald's. I love those things, yum,,. they are good and 3 dollars
cheaper than Starbucks. No wonder they are still the leading fast food and
beverage company in the U.S.A.
Needless to say, I am still thirsty sitting here typing
these words. I do believe that there are times in our life that our soul is
thirsty for the Word of God and it manifests into the natural. Call me crazy,
but I know this is a way for me to know that there are some things that God
wants to tell me, and that I am thirsty for. Remember in John 4, the women at
the well who drew water for Jesus, and He told her:
10. Jesus
answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for
a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living
water."
11.
"Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw with and the
well is deep. Where can you get this living water?
12. Are you
greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as
did also his sons and his flocks and herds?"
13. Jesus
answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again,
14. but whoever
drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him
will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
15. The woman
said to him, "Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have
to keep coming here to draw water."
25. The woman
said, "I know that Messiah" (called Christ) "is coming. When he
comes, he will explain everything to us."
26. Then Jesus
declared, "I who speak to you am he."(NIV)
We are in a season where we will harvest what we sow
instantly. Now is the time, but we must water ourselves with His Word. What is
God drawing you to? What is He saying to You? Are you listening??
Yes, I am still thirsty, but I am also going to be drawing
from the deep well of Christ. Let God be your source, and nothing else, to fill
you with His words of life.
Thirsting for Him,
