Are you thirsty for the Lord?

As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, my God.
- Psalm 42:1

Have you ever felt very thirsty with no water nearby? It’s a strong and debilitating feeling. Your mouth and throat become dry, and you are overcome with dizziness or disorientation. Drinking water several times a day is essential for our bodies to function properly.

Jesus Himself experienced thirst. One time, after walking for a while, Jesus encountered a woman as He rested by a well. He asked her for water, and she was shocked because He was a Jew and she was a Samaritan. Jesus said to her:

Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”
- John 4:10

The water God gives satisfies the thirst for abundant and true life that lies deep in our spirit. Even if we are unaware of it, like the Samaritan woman, we have a thirst that only God can quench and He stands with open arms, offering us His living water.

If we don’t seek God, if we don’t daily refresh our spirit with His presence, we begin to feel spiritual lethargy and disorientation. Stay alert! Seek the Lord every day. Don’t go without satisfying your spiritual thirst. Read the Word of the Lord daily, talk with your Father, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Word of the Day: Have Courage, God Wants to Heal your Wounds!

If your heart is wounded and hurt, there is only one solution that will truly work.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

- Psalm 147:3

The answer is in the verse above. Only God can resolve the sadness in your heart. Only He can heal all the hurts.

There's no use trying to heal your heart in any other way. God sees your pain, and He wants to heal your wounds! Call out to Him today!

Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed;
save me and I will be saved,
for you are the one I praise.

Jeremiah 17:14

When you cry out to God with all your heart, He hears you. God always answers the prayers of His children, whether by giving peace to the heart, granting patience to wait for His response, or providing instant healing. He always does something; we just have to trust and wait. In due time, you will see His movement in your life, and your faith will be strengthened.

¹I waited patiently for the Lord;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
²He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.

Psalm 40:1-2

Whatever pain you are suffering now or the wounds in your heart, bring it all before the Lord with faith and confidence. Persevere in prayer and trust in God's love for you. He will not only help you overcome it but also grow stronger in your journey with Him.

Day Before Yesterday's Word

With the opposite spirit

Our natural tendency as human beings is to respond to evil with evil and to good with good. Jesus’ teachings completely break our patterns.

You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
- Matthew 5:43-45

It is not easy to love and pray for those who have harmed us or to seek the good of those we care about when they face difficulties. But it is in this challenging area of life that God calls His children to be different. God is glorified in our lives when we approach others with the opposite spirit. Where there is hatred, we bring love; where there is rejection or alienation, we offer acceptance and reconciliation.

Dare to be different for the glory of God. Love and pray for your enemies. You will feel better obeying God and will impact others by not being controlled by your emotions.

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
- Romans 12:14

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
- Romans 12:17-18
