Thirst

Many times, in this life we have a thirst. Often we thirst for things which are not of God. These things are the temptations of life that will sooner or later eat up our soul. We thirst and are often tempted by power, greatness, pleasure, greed, and other sins. However, if we thirst for right things or righteousness there is a reward.

When we make decisions to seek after only the good, true, wonderful spiritual things, then God provides us with springs of living water. Notice in this verse the caring and compassionate nature of God. God is love, and when we hunger and thirst to always do and be what is good in God’s eyes, then there may be trouble in the here and now, but there is the reward of heaven in our immediate future. In God’s heavenly home, we will drink our fill of water supplied from the springs of Heaven. Water which will bring us joy, peace, love, and rewards beyond our comprehension.
