Come and Drink
Come and Drink
Isaiah 55:1-3
Jesus stood up on the final and greatest day of a festival celebrating God's provision of water in the wilderness, and he cried out loudly for all to hear, if anyone is thirsty, come to him and drink. He was not whispering. He was proclaiming. The world offers wells that promise satisfaction but deliver only deeper thirst. Money, approval, pleasure, status, none of it quenches the soul. You can be surrounded by water and still be thirsty if you are drinking from the wrong source. Jesus is the only well that does not run dry. Come. Not with a resume. Not with your good works. Just come.
What wells have you been returning to that have never truly satisfied you?
Identify one habit or source of comfort you turn to before turning to God. For the next five days, when the urge arises, pause and pray instead. Ask God to replace that thirst with his living water.
