Respite For the Weary
Psalm 42:1-2
As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So my soul pants for Thee, O God,
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God?
Isaiah 41:17-18
The afflicted and needy are seeking water, but there is none, and their tongue is parched with thirst; I, the Lord, will answer them Myself, as God of Israel I will not forsake them. I will open rivers on bare heights, and springs in the midst of valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land a fountain of water.
John 4:14
Jesus said, “Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”
Revelation 22:17
And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost.
Psalm 23:5-6
...my cup overflows...
My Child,
I am the Living Water. As I pour Myself into you, you will be con- tinually cleansed and purified. I long to revive, refresh, and renew your strength by washing you with My Word. Do you thirst for Me? Then go to the fountain that never runs dry.
Immanuel
But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness. 2 Peter 3:13
Dear Lord,
Remind us that this is not all there is! We are living in only a drip-drop of time compared to an ocean of eternity that will some day be ours. Help us to keep our hearts and minds in a hopeful place as we anticipate our perfect home and our eternal future. Amen.
