Thirsty? Take a Drink

By
O God, You are my God;  I shall seek you earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and weary land where there is no water.
Psalm 63:1

I Will Seek You

Are you thirsty? If we call ourselves Christ followers, and claim to love Him and we have placed complete faith and trust in Him, then, at some point, we must wrestle. We must in our journey of faith come to a place where we ask ourselves, "Do I hunger and thirst for God? Do I have a desire to get to know Him better through His Word?"

Increasing your thirst. Maybe we have that thirsty feeling spiritually and quite possibly we are struggling with not feeling spiritually thirsty at all. It matters not what we feel at this moment but rather what we choose to do with the moment we have been given. A valuable resource for those of us who are continually and constantly "plugged in" is BibleGateway.com. Let's take a look at Galatians 5. The link provided here will direct you to the New American Standard Version, however, BibleGateway.com has many translations from which to choose and you can pick the translation you would like in the box labeled "search." (Hint: We'll be doing some different things with Galatians 5 in upcoming posts!)

Quenching your thirst. As you spend time in Galatians 5 today and throughout the week (or any passage of Scripture), eventually there will be a thirst that has been quenched that you may not have even been aware was present in your life. BibleGateway.com is a wonderful tool to use to help us stay in the Word throughout the day whether we're having lunch in the office and sitting at our desk staring at our laptops or using our iPads, or whether we're traveling (BibleGateway App) we can have easy access to the Scripture!

Obedience to God 
Increases our thirst for God 
That is always quenched by God!

Backed Into A Corner -- Thank God

By
The capacity to respond to adversity with faith and gratitude is not limited to spiritual "superheroes." Choosing Gratitude - Nancy Leigh DeMoss Precarious Position. Many times we find ourselves in a place where we would rather not be and our desire may be to run and hide. However, running and hiding may not be viable options and are probably not what God is asking of us in the current situation. The problems and issues we will face in life vary greatly from health, to relationship/marriage, finances, to the stress of looking for a job, or maybe like Job, we might have lost everything -- family and possessions. Often, it is when we have done everything in our human power to ameliorate our situation and fail miserably that we remember God. photo credit:  cindy47452  via  photopin   cc Powerful Response. When we find ourselves in situations and recognize our only choice is to look up to God we can have victory and relief. When we take the time to thank the Fathe

Common Ground: The Road Less Traveled

By
The Presence of God.  Ruth and Naomi found themselves in very trying circumstances after each suffered the loss of a husband and the inescapable grief that accompanies death. Scripture gives us a snapshot into their lives and we get a glimpse of the strong bond of friendship that took place between Ruth and Naomi. Was it the deep sense of   grief that brought these two women together in a way they had never experienced before? Perhaps these women were drawn to each other because they knew they were “alone” in the world.  More importantly, the presence of God is evident by Ruth's response to her mother-in-law.  Ruth reminds us and reminded Naomi of God's presence. The presence of God is the bond that unites our hearts as brothers and sisters in Christ. The Road Less Traveled photo credit:  B Gilmour.  via  photopin   cc Mutual Commitment. Naomi urged Ruth to go home to her mother in Moab hoping that Ruth would find another husband. Ruth refused to leave Naom
