Quenching Our Thirst

“Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters.” Isaiah 55:1

This particular invitation to come, in Isaiah 55:1, is to find complete satisfaction in Christ. Isaiah uses the idea of being spiritually thirsty and finding the replenishment for that thirst in Christ. Just as Gatorade prides themselves in quenching one’s thirst, only Christ can completely satisfy the dehydration of our souls.

The temptation we face in this is receiving our satisfaction from other sources. Those satisfied with the things of the world see no need for Christ, and therefore do not thirst. Places such as wealth, addictions, social media, other relationships, and the list goes on and on. These means will only lead to emptiness and ultimately an unsatisfied soul.

Jesus said in John 7:37, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.”

Come to Christ today. He invites you. He is the Living Water. His streams make glad the city of God. His waters bring salvation. His waters bring forgiveness. His waters bring healing. His waters bring deliverance. His waters bring love. His waters bring revival.
