Are you so dehydrated that even your bones feel dried up?
This is no normal dry spell where a drink of cold water
quenches your thirst. You’ve tried everything but nothing you do is satisfying
this dryness that you’re feeling.
That’s because your thirst is not physical but spiritual.
You’re in a spiritual drought, in the middle of a dry-bones valley with no hope
of quenching your spiritual dehydration.
“…the middle of a valley; it
was full of bones…and they were very dry.”
(Ezekiel 37:1, 2 NIV)
Right now, even though all you see around you is desert,
know that there is hope, for God has provided a source of full and everlasting
satisfaction for your spiritual dehydration.
Only God can make springs gush forth in the valleys (Psalm
104:10).

Only God can change deserts into springs of water (Psalm 107:35).
And, to anyone who is thirsty, it is only God who gives
water as a gift from the spring of the water of life (Revelation 21:6).
This God-given Spring is a spring that never runs dry.
This never-ending flow of rehydration is available to
whosoever believes in His Son Jesus Christ.
Jesus Himself tells us of this wonderful thirst-quenching
spring of water when He said, “…those who drink
of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will
give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.”
(John 4:14).
Also, in John 7:37-39 we read, “…Jesus…cried
out, Let anyone who is thirsty come to Me, and let the one who believes in Me
drink. As the scripture has said, ‘Out of the believer’s heart shall flow
rivers of living water.’ Now He said this about the Spirit, which believers in
him were to receive…”
Beloved, this precious water is the Holy Spirit promised to
anyone who believes. The indwelling Spirit of God is the source of this spring
of everlasting satisfaction. Only He can quench your spiritual dehydration. How
wonderful it is to have this bubbling spring of water within you that
completely satisfies even to the bone.
Amen†
