Text John 4:13-14 by memory to a friend or family member.

Isaiah 55:1-3

“Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David.”

Thirst calls us to come to God. God is calling our souls to thirst for Him above all else. Thirst makes us feel lost, but God is calling us to be found in Him. He is waiting for us to come to Him in our thirst.

Psalm 34:8 says, “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!”

Thirst calls us to taste and see that the Lord is good. When we take refuge in Him in our thirst, we will be satisfied. Let spiritual thirst call you to taste and see the Lord is good. Come to Him. Open your heart to Him and receive His love, mercy, kindness, and compassion. He is good, and when we allow our thirst to move us toward Him, we begin to understand how He is good. We learn to live like Him. His goodness changes us from the inside out, which is painful at first but eventually brings peace, inner joy, and contentment.

Imagine living with true peace, inner joy, and contentment. How different would your life be?

Discovering Him, His will at work in our heart, mind, and soul, changes us inside. Our circumstances might not change, but when we lay our heads down on the pillow at night, we rest knowing we are safely in His Hands. The world may move in one hundred different directions (Ephesians 4:14 says “so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.”), but our heart moves to Him in love keeping the direction of our life on course towards God. He is our true north. Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Thirst calls us back to our true north.

Pray the Lord’s Prayer "Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen."
