DAY 206

Hot and dry. There are times when my soul is parched. And even though it is my doing, by walking the wrong direction, not worshiping in His Presence, I am comforted to know that He is but a breath away and will guide me to Him.

Isaiah 58:11
And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought,...

Psalm 42:1
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

Psalm 63:1
O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

Psalm 105:41
He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

Revelation 22:17
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

Ahhh, I drink of His Goodness and life flows in me, filling the cracks of a life hardened by not seeking Him. And I am alive!

Beside Still Waters

In this crazy, sped-up world, how much more do we need to be led to the still waters?

So what are still waters?

Sheep don't want to drink from a rushing creek, they want still pools of water to drink from. We are the Lord's sheep.

It's hard to hear the Lord and drink in His Word if we're in the mainstream of the hectic world. Take a break, not at the Golden Arches of McDonald's but in a quiet place where the noise, drivings and strivings of this world are muffled.

Find that place in a park, your literal closet, a library, even a church. But go there and let the Lord fill you with His peace and wisdom and strength.

Just like a lamb will die without water, so too will our souls languish without spiritual drink.

Thirsty? Get quiet and drink from the well of the Lord. Only He can satisfy that thirst.

He is the Real Thing.
