How Thirsty?

How Thirsty?



Matthew 5:6, “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” In South Africa I have heard that you can sometimes see an amazing sight; deer defying lions in order to drink at the river. Their thirst will not be denied. They must have water or die.



Spiritually as Christians we are either moving forward or moving backwards. There is no status quo for the child of God. In our own lives there will be spiritual starvation unless we have a continual intake of the spiritual, such as: the Word of God; prayer; and, fellowship with other Christians. The question we should ask ourselves is how thirsty are we? Are we thirsty enough to defy that old lion, the devil, who is going to and fro across this world seeking whom he may desire? Are we thirsty enough to go to church this Sunday? Are we thirsty enough to wake up each day and spend some time reading God’s Word and praying? Are we thirsty enough to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Him?

Wow, I love the story. So true! Especially in America! Our missionaries know what it's like to go to the river and lay their lives down on line in order to bring in the harvest.

Now that story can be an example to our lives. Are we willing to be that "deer?"

Deer are so cute, precious, sweet, tender, everyone loves deers. Jesus is precious, tender, and he loves everyone. He went to the river, didn't he? And we know he is our example.

I know I need strength and God's courage to go to the river every day! and proclaim God's love and let the lion know the deer is not for his taking because we belong to God.

Jesus is our victory, our peace, and our joy. Thank you Lord for all you do for us.
