IF ANY IS THIRSTY Wednesday December 30, 2015
Text: John 7:37 – 44 Memory verse: v 37
On
the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, the Jews drew water from Pool of
Siloam and poured it out before the Lord. It is supposed that Christ alluded to
this. If any man desires to be truly and forever happy, let him allow Christ to
rule over him. Thirst here means strong desires after spiritual blessings,
which nothing else can satisfy; so the sanctifying and comforting influences of
the Holy Spirit were intended by the waters which Jesus called on them to come
to Him and drink. Many believed Him to be Messiah due to His teaching while
some others didn’t believe. This is usual even till date when the gospel is
preached.
The
Spirit dwelling and working in believers is like a fountain of living, running
water, out of which plenty streams flow, cooling and cleansing as water. All of
us may not have the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit but for His more common
and more valuable influences we can ask and God will gladly grant to us. Are
you willing to ask God today?
Food for Thought: How thirsty are you for spiritual blessing?
Prayer: Lord, make me thirsty for spiritual blessings in Jesus name.
