Power On!Sample

Have you ever felt over the course of a few hours, that something in your body wasn’t right, and you eventually had a drink of water, and realised you were actually thirsty all along and didn’t realise it?

Have you ever been desperately thirsty, and with no drink in sight, had to wait a long time to be near a water fountain or drink bottle again? It’s hard to think of anything else when we’re so thirsty, and what a relief when we feel that water going down!

Sometimes we are thirsty for God’s life-giving water without realising. We can be distracted, busy, or put our needs down to something else. It is only when we fill up on God that we are reminded that He is our one true source of fulfilment.

Other times we are so desperate for God’s presence, and aware of our need, that we come running to Him, and what a joy it is to receive His wisdom, grace and forgiveness.

Remember today that God will meet all of our needs, and that it is a delight to be in His presence. Let’s not be backward about coming forward into His presence!

Prayer:

Dear Lord, help me always to remember to spend time in Your presence and to worship You with my whole heart. As I do, fill me with longing for more. Amen.
