                        "Thirst Quencher"

                        "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the
waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy
wine and milk without money and without price."  (Isaiah 55:1)

                        When you are hot and thirsty, you want something
to drink.  There is an assortment of drinks to choose from- coffee, soda,
tea, lemonade, juice, sports drinks, etc.  But none of these quench your
thirst, they still leave you thirsty and needing something else.  When you
are really hot and thirsty, the only true thirst quencher is water.  

                        Our souls are thirsty too and we look for
something to quench that thirst.  We will take a "drink" of a variety of
things- drugs, alcohol, relationships, entertainment, etc.- to try to find
something that will satisfy that thirst that is within us.  Like in the
natural, all the things that look promising, that look like they will
quench the thirst don't.  Like in the natural again, there is only one
thing that can truly quench the deep thirst that is within our souls....
water! 

                        There is "water" that only the Lord can give and
it will quench the thirsty soul once and for all.  Jesus offered it to a
woman one day that He met at a well.  She had a deep thirst.  She was
trying to satisfy it through relationships but to no avail.  He told her
that if she would drink of the water that He has to give she would never
thirst again.  Nothing else and no one else can make that claim. 
Everything else leaves us unsatisfied and continuing our search for
something else that will.

                        Are you thirsty this morning?  Are you trying to
find something that will quench that longing in your soul?  Are you
drinking from sources that are not satisfying?  Then come and drink of the
water that the Lord has to give.  It will quench your thirst and you will
never thirst again.

                        Have a great day.  Only the water of life that
Jesus has to give can quench your thirst once and for all.
