WEEK 20 – DAY 4

NEVER THIRST AGAIN

But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. John 4:14

When you cannot get water by yourself, and you must depend on others not only to bring it to you but to assist you with drinking it, there are many times you feel like you have cotton in your mouth. You keep hoping some saliva will moisten your throat until you can get the attention of the person who will bring you something to drink. A person cannot live long without water, and I (Susan) am totally dependent upon others to meet that need for me. 

Are you thirsting for something deep within yourself? Are you spiritually dry? Jesus is the only One who can quench this thirst because He is the source of Living Water. When you trust Him, His Holy Spirit is the spring of living water that wells up inside you to eternal life and flows out through you to others. There is no reason to remain empty and dry. Jesus is willing and able to quench your thirst for God, and He is never out of the room or out of earshot. Jesus is always available by prayer and His encouraging words have been recorded in the Bible. We need only to open His word and pray to the Lord to access a fresh drink of spiritual water.

Lord Jesus, thank You for quenching our spiritual thirst perpetually. Thank You for always being available to us, for being our Savior, our Sustainer, and our most intimate Friend.
