Pastor's Corner

for Sunday Sept. 12th
Are you thirsty?
“O God, you are my God, and I long for you. My whole being desires you; like a dry, worn-out, and waterless land, my soul is thirsty for you… My soul will feast and be satisfied, and I will sing glad songs of praise to you.” (Psa 63:1,5 TEV) King David wrote this song while in the wilderness of Judah. His son Absalom wanted to kill him and take the throne for himself. These are words written by a man, who knows betrayal; who knows hardship and struggle; who knows what it feels like to be unjustly accused and attacked. Yet, it was these very things that emphasized to David that there is nothing certain in life. His life at that time was like a desert without water, his life left his soul empty and hungry. But through this he learned that just as water is the only thing that can really quench your thirst so God is the only one who can satisfy our souls hunger and thirst. Many try to “quench their thirst” with money, fame or prestige but their thirst is never quenched, their lives retain that hollow ring. Jesus and only Jesus is the living water and all that come to him will never thirst again. Are you thirsty? Come and drink freely from the river of life and you will never thirst again!
