Parched
Gunnison River tributary
The most important thing for human survival is clean, life giving water. My friends tease me about my philosophy on clean drinking water. Any country who allows human or toxic waste in their drinking water cannot be a world power. Although I don’t express it quite that eloquently, I think a fifth grader can understand that. So if a government doesn’t understand it, then sorry; no nuclear arms for you.
We use the expression of a “thirst for knowledge”. It is as old as the earth.
John 7:37 and 7:38 : On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If any man is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.’”
My prayer today:
Thirst-quenching God, I have wandered and become parched in a hot and dry land. Fill me with your word and your life-giving water. Give me hope and a purpose. Allow me to dwell with you and under your wings I may take refuge.
