"O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul
thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where
no water is." Psalm 63:1
There are times when my body feels so dry and thirsty.
When this happens, I go get a drink of water. I have plants in my house and
when they start looking dry and beginning to wilt, I water them. When the
flowers in my yard are dry and shriveling up, I get out the water hose and water
them. When our pets are thirsty, we put a bowl of water out for
them.
When living things get dry and thirsty, we water them.
The spiritual part of us is living and if we neglect it, it will get dry too.
So what do we do? If water is the remedy for every other living thing, then it
is the same answer for our spirits. We have to water them.
Are you feeling dry inside? Are you feeling like you are
"wilting" on the vine? Well, when was the last time you were "watered"? When
was the last time you watered your spirit? How do we water our spirits?
"That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word."
(Ephesians 5:26) With God's Word. You water it by opening God's Word and
filling your spirit up with it. You read it and you meditate on it. I am not
talking about just a verse or two. I am talking about a good "soaking". When
my plants are dry and wilting, I don't just give them a drop or two of water, I
give them a good soaking. It is amazing what that will do for them. Their
leaves are no longer droopy. They stand upright. And they look refreshed
again.
We need to daily water our spirits. We need to soak them
in God's Word. It is the "water" that we need to get refreshed and come back
alive.
Have a great day. If your spirit is feeling dry, when was
the last time you watered it?
