Drink the living water – Jesus is waiting to quench your thirst!
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And on most days, I drink about 3-4 liters of water—that’s about a gallon of water a day. You’re probably wondering why I drink so much water. Well, as a quadriplegic, it’s important I stay hydrated. People with spinal cord injuries are at a greater risk of getting kidney, urinary tract infections—and infections for a quad can be fatal if not treated in time. So, the best way to flush toxins out of my body is to guzzle lots of water. And friend, it’s not much different when it comes to our spiritual health. We need to stay hydrated with the living water—Jesus! Because as John 4 says, if we drink from him, we will never grow thirsty, that is, we’ll always be satiated and will find contentment in him. As we drink from Scripture we’ll resist temptation, keeping our hearts and minds “filtered” with God’s Word. So, friend, drink it up; Jesus is waiting to quench your thirst!
