Thirst. Visions of a dry desert with the beating sun. No water for days and the buzzards are circling overhead. Ever feel that thirsty? Maybe it is not water that you desire. Lacking hope, insecurity, no direction… these are all “thirsts” that can drive you crazy.
But what do you do to satisfy your desire? What is your source for pure, clean, living water?
God is the source?
God promises to be our sustainer and provider. When we choose to give Him the steering wheel, he drives us to what we need. But it is so easy to look at outside circumstances. Peter was commanded by Jesus to walk on water. But he looked to the waves and the the huge storm and lost his connection to the source. What distracts you from the source?
How can God become your source?
Trust is the key to allowing God to be the source. I find it so hard to trust God when it comes to Him providing for me. I guess it is just that I don’t trust God like I say I do. I am like one of the Israelites wandering in the desert. I whine and complain that God will not provide. I miss the opportunity to trust God and see Him provide.
We all need to exercise our trust muscle. In our lives we need to look at what is hardest to trust God will the and give it to Him. For me it is fundraising, I feel I am to weak for God to bless me in asking others for the cause of equipping youth for transformation. So I miss the blessing of His provision for I do not allow Him to provide.
God is bigger than our lack of faith. Daily we can connect with Him, acknowledge our need and listen to Him. He will fill us with His living water.
