“What are you thirsty for?”

Many years ago, we were working deep in the mountains of Haiti in a village called Covant. We had to ride four-wheel-drives for many hours and then get out and park the vehicles, because they could not make it any further. We had to take mules, but we didn’t have enough mules, so we took turns walking and riding. The sun was scorching hot, and it was summer. There were very few trees, so our trip was rough. When we finished our Mobile Medical Clinic, it was time to go back. As the noon day sun came on us, we found ourselves out of water. We were “so thirsty.” As I sat there on a log, I thought of this scripture… “Oh 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…” (Psalms 63:1)

God wants us to “thirst after Him,” just like we were thirsty for water. We must “thirst” for God like David said. When we “draw nigh to God, he will draw nigh to us.” (James 4:8) He truly is “our water of life!” Let us “thirst” after the Lord. Have a wonderful day in Jesus, the “spring of Living Water!”

P.S. The rest of the story: We came to a stream and there in the stream, walking, was our Haitian pastor, with a cooler full of cold water and iced cold cokes! Nothing has ever tasted so good, so “taste and see that the Lord is good!”
