"Drink Water" Essential #2

Have you been thirsty for water or juice especially while driving? The next exit, your chance to stop for something to drink, may be fifteen or twenty miles down the road. Just having to wait makes you thirstier than ever. When we drink water, we still get thirsty later.

Exodus 15:24 tells us the Israelites wanted water to drink for they were thirsty. God directed Moses about getting water for the Israelites. They were satisfied for awhile. Then Exodus 17:6 tells us again the Israelites were thirsty for more water.

St. John 4:13-14 from the KJV "Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst again; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."

I can remember at different times when I have been thirsty, and unable to get something to drink. Then I would get very thirsty. Jesus tells us in the Beatitudes "Blessed is he who thirsts after righteousness, for he will be filled." When I heard Jesus died on the cross for me and took all my sins, I chose to believe and receive Him into my heart so He would be with me all the time. I received that well of water that St. John 4:13-14 talks about and my spiritual thirst was forever quenched.

In Jesus there is Life, and the water He gives shall be a well of water springing up into Eternal Life with Him. Will you receive the living water like the woman at the well did?
