Psalms
By Brent Earles
We are thirsty people in an ocean of contamination.... People actually drink contamination to quench their thirst. There's the money trough where some burn themselves out trying to make as much as possible.
Fame is what a parched soul might seek. Drugs, alcohol, or illicit sex looks good to a desperate soul. It's like white water rafting, one dangerous waterfall after another down, down, until they go under.
God gave us a craving for contentment that only He can satisfy. Our thirst should drive us to the Savior, who alone can give us a long, cold drink from the springs of living water. John 4:7-10 The woman at the well knew sex couldn't satisfy. She had been married five times and now she says forget the paper. It won't last anyway. They moved in together. Jesus told her the only way you will never thirst again is if I give you living water.
...The journey of life is a desert without Christ. It runs us dry. Mirages disappear before our eyes, and we stand weary in the dust of our humanity. It's hard to find meaning, hope, to make sense of it all.
We don't need church or religion, we need Christ alone. Our age is dry, cracked ground yearning for a downpour. Instead of little spiritual games, there must be a quest for God himself.
Christ stands at the door waiting so, so long waiting, for us to want Him. Do you feel like you are running in place spinning your wheels?
The sparkle of God's water puts a sparkle into life. Follow hard after him. Run in his footsteps. Jesus, said "Call upon me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you know not of." Make me lonely for you presence Lord.
Pray, Jesus come into my life. Forgive me of my sins. I trust your death on Calvary. The blood you shed for me. Take my sins and give me your righteousness. Make my life anew. Show me how to please you. Take me to living waters. In Jesus Name. Amen. I want to know you the fountain of living water!
