Thirsty?

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." (Matthew 5:6)

Some time ago I discovered a continuing pattern and promise in scripture: Those who come to Him thirsty are promised to have their thirst satisfied. I wonder how thirsty you might be. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest, how thirsty are you for God to work in and through you during your mission journey?

Beulah

It doesn’t seem to matter where I am on a mission trip, whether in rural Georgia, interior of Alaska, or in the heart of India, thirsty people are everywhere. It seems that these are the ones that God puts in your path on any mission trip. Sometimes they are poor, sometimes rich, sometimes young and sometimes old, but their thirst is obvious.

They don’t all decide to have their thirst satisfied. Some are like the rich, young man (Matthew 19:16-22) who came to Jesus, thirsty, but not willing to have that thirst satisfied because of what it will cost them.

You are going to encounter some thirsty people along your journey, and God is sending you to give them a cup of cold water in His name. But what about you, are you thirsty? Will you have your thirst satisfied? Are you willing to pay the cost to have it satisfied?

What will it be that God asks of you to have your thirst satisfied?  --Russ Sharrock
