Thirsty?

 Growing up as a little girl we raised hogs and I can remember a time or two the sows were “running” at me and I am pretty sure I turned and ran the other way!!  They scared me silly and I DID NOT like the pigs.  Fast forward many years and my children decide they want to show hogs for 4-H.  I think my heart skipped a beat because that meant I had to deal with the pigs.  Well, after many months of acclimating to the pigs I have learned to appreciate them.  They are funny and very photogenic. 

As I was looking at this photo, the bible passages of thirst were running through my mind.  “Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters…” Isaiah 55:1.  All we had to do was turn on the water and “Diamond” (The pig) was right there.  She loved to drink water out of a hose so much so that she would follow the spray of water just to get a drink.  It was as if she didn’t have the opportunity to drink all day.  Of course, she always had water at her disposal but she was thirsty for the water out of the hose.

The Lord invites us to come to the waters and quench our thirst.  It’s as if He is standing there with a hose and water is pouring out.  All we have to do is partake.  David prayed in Psalm 63:1 – “O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you…”  Quench your thirst through Him.  Open your bible and feel the thirst dissipate as His word fulfills.
