Quench my thirst today, God


Come to Him and drink. Drink deeply; keep on drinking, let Him quench your thirst; and then, watch as rivers of living water flow out through you to quench the thirst of those around you.
~~Nancy Leigh DeMoss

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.
The ice is clinking in the pitcher of freshly squeezed lemonade. You’re invited. The door is open. The welcome mat is out. The table is set.
Come, join him at the table. Stay awhile. Savor his word, rest in his presence, and listen for his voice. Let God quench the thirst of your soul like water hydrates after an intense workout, like a deep breath in the mountain air clears your lungs, like a swim in a beautiful, cool spring rejuvenates your tired limbs.
Are you thirsty today? Thirsty for meaning in life? Thirsty for love that will not fail? Thirsty for peace or joy or contentment? Come to him and drink. The well is deep, the supply endless. And then, when you’ve drunk your fill, that living water flows out through you to the thirsty souls around you.
Who will you refresh today?
Prayer for Meditation
Quench my thirst today God. Then let me refresh someone else.
Scripture for Meditation
On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’” John 7:37-38
