“I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him?” Psalm 42:2 NLT
Such pleasant times are my walks with Famous! To share the outdoors as a team, the dog with the nose, the man with the eyes, both with a set of ears working together to discover the world around us gives great joy. But on a day like today, even with a pleasant breeze, warm temperatures make a dog with a heavy coat pant after only a few minutes. Water is lapped up eagerly, and then comes that look of satisfaction which I always take as a “thank-you.”
Do we sometimes impose our own thirst of God’s living water? When we are so wrapped up in our day that God becomes buried in our thoughts, are we not denying the need we have for his life-giving presence? Now is the time to fill ourselves with the sweet, quenching life only He can provide.
Giver of Life, teach me to stay near Your oasis that satisfies thirst.
