Thirst. Sete. δίψα.

"God, You are my God; I eagerly seek You. I thirst for You; my body faints for You in a land that is dry, desolate, and without water." Psalm 63:1 I really dont like drinking water if you offer me a choice between it and just about anything else I will choose the something else. "However, water tastes so very good when you are thirsty! Clear and cold, there is nothing more delicious and satisfying. You do not have to guess when you are thirsty, or time thirst like you would taking medication. Our healthy body demands the fluid replacement and lets us know relentlessly until we succumb to the desire to drink and satisfy our craving. Extreme thirst is waiting too late; we are probably by then very low on this essential nutrient. We are up to 75% water; our body needs water to function, to regulate our body temperature, and is the element for transporting oxygen and nutrients it also safeguards our organs and more."
Therefore I have learned a valuable lesson of what I often need I dont necessarily want. Here comes the metaphor...
"Jesus answered, Everyone who drinks this water will be thirst again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." John4:13-14 When I need something or am desperate I am not afraid to call on the name of Jesus however, in every day mundane things or when I think I have things under control I usually dont even think of Him. If God made us out of the very fabric of Himself then I would need Him to restore, rejuvenate, and refresh me. The great thing about drinking water is the more you drink it the thirstier you are on a daily basis, ironic? You can fit the rest of the metaphor together as you please. Just some passing thoughts to chew on or drink up as it were.
