26. Thirsty

There is nothing better when you are really thirsty than a glass of cool, fresh water. Thirst is an amazing thing. It can become an extremely powerful force in your life. They say someone walking in a desert that runs out of water and becomes very thirsty can quickly drink himself to death by drinking too much water too fast.

Physically we become what we eat and what we drink. That’s why it is important what kind of food we eat and what we drink. Foe example, too much sugar in your diet can eventually lead to a lot of physical health issues.

The same is true with what we consume with our mind. In the physical, we like to eat what we are hungry for. The same is true with our minds. The question then is, what is my mind hungry for? What is it that I love to think about the most? That tells me who I am. We become like what we feed on the most.

The Good Shepherd says, “If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.” John 7:37. “I will give unto Him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.” Revelation 21:6. The water of life is free for the drinking, but it is only the thirsty who drink. Like the old saying goes, ‘You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.’ What are we really thirsty for? Ask Him to make you real thirsty for the water of life.
