I am listening to what the LORD God is saying; he promises peace to us, his own people, if we do not go back to our foolish ways. Surely he is ready to save those who honor him, and his saving presence will remain in our land.

Love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will embrace. Man's loyalty will reach up from the earth, and God's righteousness will look down from heaven. The LORD will make us prosperous, and our land will produce rich harvests. Righteousness will go before the LORD and prepare the path for him.

Psalm 85:8-13

When it rains, most people go inside to avoid getting wet. Not so if you have been experiencing drought conditions. You then want to go out and get soaked. Showers of blessing are what we need in times of spiritual dryness. We long for a sense of the presence and power of God. We know that in His time, we will be revived again, and that our LORD will show us His mercy, and He will grant us His salvation.

The spiritual refreshing we crave comes only from above. Christ alone can satisfy our spiritual thirst with the "living water" He promised us all.

Only Christ the living water can quench our spiritual thirst.
