Quench Your Thirst

True worship does not come from people whose feelings are like air ferns with no root in the solid ground of biblical doctrine. These religious feelings that do not come from a true apprehension of God are neither holy nor truly free, no matter how intense.

Those who have great impact for God are those who have a great passion for Him fueled by meditation upon His Word. No one can know Him intimately and lot love Him passionately.

Are we thirsty for God?

• ".....they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness" --Matthew 5:6
• "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." --Matthew 11:28

It is a thirst He intends to quench and a rest He intends to give them who come to Him and who stop searching for relief from other sources. When He is revealed to us as we behold His glory, we will be stunned by His mercy to us, humbled by His grace and thirsty for knowledge of Him.

Have we been tasting God?

• "O taste and see that the LORD is good" --Psalm 34:8

Scripture sermons, biblical Christian hymns & music, short Scripture reading and discipleship studies all help but you will not be full until you have feasted at His banquet hall and fill yourself with the knowledge of who He is.

Do we know the joy of abiding in Christ?

After we spend a day with God reflecting on what He has revealed about Himself, confessing our sin, turned our heart toward Him in praise and offered our self to Him to use as He wills, we will begin to experience the joy of abiding in Christ. This kind of God-loving believer makes a difference in the lives of others because he is filled with "all joy and peace in believing."

[Praise the Lord for His goodness and mercy that endureth forever. How often do we find our self bent toward the flesh and casual in our attitude toward God-Himself, and His Word? I've learned that's why it's so important to have that daily time with God. Otherwise we just start our day off on the wrong foot and in our flesh. But when we experience the "hunger and thirst after righteousness" it is like pulling up the shades on our windows and viewing the Himalaya Mountains for our self. It is so good and wonderful!

"Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee." --1Timothy 4:15-16]
