DRINKING WATER
Today's reading:  Psalm 63-65

"O God, you are my God; a earnestly search for you.  My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water."  Psalm 63:1 NLT

Studies say 75-80% of us go around in a state of dehydration.

In America.  In the good, ole USA.  In the land of the free and the home of the brave.  The continent that stretches from sea to shining sea.  In one of the world's richest (if not for our debt) countries in the world.

And we're thirsty?

Because it's too hard to turn the tap?

Because there aren't stacks and cases of bottled water in each of our pantries?

Because we don't have the time to haul water from the creek nestled a mile or so from our little cabins and our buckets have holes in them?

Or might it be that in our laziness we're dehydrated and thirsty because water is not directly fed into our veins--and it requires a little effort on our part?

We live in a dry and thirsting world that offers so many things, except Water.

We're surrounded by commercials, ads and promotions that are wanting to sell us everything under the sun--and what we need is free, free for our accepting and taking.

God offers us cool and refreshing drinks of His grace on a daily, hourly, minute-by-minute basis.  He can restore what the world has sucked out of us.  He is what we need, as much as we need and more than we need.

How about a drink?
