Drink More-Come Close
Did you forget to drink? Most of the I did forget. Working outside, I get so involved in my projects that my thirst goes unnoticed and I go on and on, until fatigue sets in, making me stop. It is only then that I find the water and at first sip realize just how thirsty I have been all this time. So I find in my thirst for God. Life gets so involved and all encompassing and urgency is often the theme of the day. And when things go awry and I have to stop. Then it is that I finally get still that I begin to realize how much I have needed God all along. I was thirsty and didn't know it. I didn't drink of His goodness. I didn't trust Him in the midst of the storm. I didn't bring Him into my urgencies or my everyday life. God has instilled within us a thirst for Him that only He can satisfy. Now, I am terribly thirsty. Come close, He says, and place your burdens upon Me. Come close, thirsty...
