But there the majestic One, the Lord, will be for us a place of broad rivers and streams… (Isaiah 33:21a)

Thirst for water. One of our basic needs. For me, I can’t drink water right now. It is too liquid for my throat and will go down into my lungs. O for a glass of cool, thirst quenching water.

Jesus spoke of a spiritual thirst:

Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.” John 7:37

“If any is thirsty.” In order to drink spiritually, we must admit that we are thirsty. Also, we are not to drink from any old watering hole, but from Jesus Himself, “let him come to Me and drink.” The world offers all sort of thirst quenchers, but there is only one who really satisfies.

Notice that our majestic One, the Lord, is a place of broad river and streams. Our Savior’s resources are inexhaustible. We can go to him at any time and drink as much as we want. Streams remind me of what David wrote, “He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters” (Psalm 23:2). In the hectic circumstances of life, our Divine Shephard offers to us a peaceful place to quench our thirst.

Now, are you thirsty? Do you need something that will quench you deep inside? Then, go to Jesus and partake of the spiritual water that He freely and abundantly offers you. Listen to what he said to the woman at the well:

But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. (John 4:14)

In Christ,
