John 7:37 NIV
On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice,
“Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.”
Within each of us lies a yearning, a profound thirst that extends beyond mere physical cravings.
This longing cannot be satisfied by the offerings of this world, no matter how diverse or alluring they may be. In fact, many embark on a quest, seeking fulfillment in various forms.
Consider this: The One who comprehends the depths of the human heart made a remarkable proclamation following the grand celebration in John 7.
Amidst abundance in food and drink, this was no ordinary revelry. Jesus, aware that the splendour of the feast had been savoured, stood and proclaimed a need surpassing the physical satisfaction experienced on that day.
He declared, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink."
Surprising, isn't it? Were they not content after partaking in such a lavish feast? Jesus discerned a need beyond the physical; an invitation extended to all who would receive and believe. It originated from the One who understands us like no other.
As we embark on this week of prayer and fasting, let us position ourselves to approach the fount of life. While temporarily relinquishing some physical necessities, may our focus shift to our souls. May we earnestly seek the Lord, drink deeply, and be filled to the point of overflowing.
Join me in prayer:
“Thank You Jesus that You know me, You love me,
and Your desire is for me to flourish.
Jesus I come to You, receiving the invitation, and pray may rivers of Living water
flow up, in and through me today touching everyone around me. ”
