What Are You Thirsty For?

For those of you that have MySpace, or have gone to www.thegatheringnv.org, you will see that I've posted this a few times. But I wanted to share what's on my heart, so here it is.

What are you thirsty for?

“I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.” John 6:35 So many times we go through life thinking we have to do everything on our own. God calls us to wait on Him, to trust in Him, to be dependant on Him, to come to Him just as we are. He says “Be still and know that I am God,” Psalm 46:10. Going back to the beginning of Psalm 46, it says “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth gives way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging…” This entire chapter is amazing and shows God’s faithfulness.

There will always be something that tries to get in the way of God. Something will always try to distract us from the call He has on our lives, but your true character and who or what you believe will shine through in those times of trials and tribulation. That’s when you’ll find out what you’re really made of and whether or not you’re trusting in Him. When was the last time you just gave everything to Jesus and let Him bare your burdens? What are you thirsty for? What fulfills your hunger cravings? Is it the word of God? Is it knowing how faithful He is? Is it worshiping Him a bit longer?

Jesus, show us the areas in our lives that we need to give to you. Show us where to begin and what to do to get closer to You, to have a deeper desire for You. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
