Hey, everyone who's thirsty should come. Here's drinking water!
JOHN 6:35 (ABP)
Jesus said, "Whoever puts their trust in me will never get thirsty."
THE ESSENCE
When we accompany Jesus through life we never have to worry about getting thirsty.
DAILY FODDER
Why is physical thirst used so often in the Bible as a powerful metaphor for spiritual neediness?
PRAYER
Gracious God, I'm thankful that I don't need to worry about either physical or spiritual thirst. You take good care of me. But I confess that I don't drink enough of the water you so freely supply. I can't be bothered to pause throughout the day to drink. And frankly, I often just forget — until I get dangerously thirsty. Remind me to take frequent small sips so I can stay hydrated. I'm trusting that you will meet all my needs because that's the kind of God you are. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
