We shall never thirst



Water! That precious gift for the tired and thirsty. Water! That essential refreshment we all need. Jesus, however, offers water we don't have to carry or purify. No, this is water that wells up within us. This is the water that the Holy Spirit brings us. This is the water that gives us eternal life that starts now and lasts forever!

... But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.
— John 4:14

Dear Lord, we know Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to live in us when we became a Christian. We ask that our stubborn will and that our sinful desires can be overcome with the Spirit's power, and that our life will display the joy and confidence that your refreshing presence brings. In Jesus' name. Amen

God quenches the thirst and satisfies the hunger


One of the recurring truths found in the Bible is God quenches the thirst and satisfies the hunger of those who seek him. So often we try to soothe the ache in our soul and fill the emptiness in our heart with what is only a temporary satisfaction that only God's presence can really fill. As we face each thing that seems to satisfy let us seek what the LORD has to show us!


For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
— Psalm 107:9


Dear Lord, forgive me, for trying to find the satisfaction for my soul's hunger in what is not truly sustaining. As I seek you, dear LORD, please make your presence known as you satisfy my spiritual thirst and satisfy my soul's hunger. In Jesus name, Amen.
