Spiritual Thirst

You did it! You persisted through the painful and difficult work of emptying yourself of everything that would hinder you from receiving all God has for you. For the past seven days, you have humbled yourself, examined yourself, and rid yourself of the things that only satisfy your flesh. It has not been easy, but it has been worth it.

For the next seven days, we are setting our hearts toward being filled with the Holy Spirit. The space we have created in our lives is now about to be filled with the fullness of God. There is a shift of unprecedented proportions coming into your life. Get ready for life change.

In John 4:13-14, it describes spiritual thirst. The things of this world – the water Jesus first references – will momentarily quench your thirst, but you will thirst again. He then goes on to speak of water that will make you never thirst again. This water is the Holy Spirit. This should be the water we want.

In John 7:37-39, Jesus continues this when He says, “Whoever is thirsty come and drink.” To receive the Spirit, this everlasting water, we need to accept Jesus and believe in what He has told us in God’s Word.

We shouldn’t just be going through the motions. We should thirst for the fresh, living water that only the Holy Spirit can supply.
