Thirst for the living waters

Without water you can’t live. In fact, your physical body consists largely of water. And the supply of water in your body must be constantly replenished for you to thrive. Usually, we rely on our sense of thirst to tell us when and how much water to drink.

Sometimes, however, for various reasons, our sense of thirst may fail us. And when that happens, individuals may become sick or even die from dehydration. At other times, people may thirst, but seek to satisfy their thirst with impure water that either slowly or quickly produces disease and death.

The Spirit of God is analogous to water (John 7:37-39).
