"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" (Isa 55:1-2;
KJV).
King
David wrote that he thirsted for God (Ps 42 :2). Jesus said that if we thirsted
for the thing of God we should come and drink (John 7:37). I love the story of
Jesus meeting with the Samaritan woman at the well in Sychar (John 4: 7-42).
Jesus had asked her for a drink and in their conversation, Jesus said to her
that if she new who he was, she would have asked him, and he would have given her,
living water. Jesus was meaning the life-giving word of God; the word that we
have in our Bibles.
Are
you thirsty for more of God? If not, you can develop a thirst. So, start
drinking and soon you will develop a taste for the things of God. When we start giving our time and energy to something,
we will develop a desire for more of it. Start attending to Bible study, prayer
and spending time in God’s presence and before too long you will be wanting to
do it more and more; its life changing!
