Since I started taking this medicine, to feel better, I have felt dry!!! My lips, mouth, skin, nose, even the bottom of my feet are dry. I have Chapstick right by my chair & when my lips get that dry feeling I grab that stuff & just lather it on!! I get that, "AAAHHHH!" feeling & I'm pretty sure I even say, "AAAHHHH" because it brings such relief & I'm so glad to not have that dryness anymore. So as I was doing some lathering I thought that's exactly what God does for us. We get dry--for whatever reason. Maybe things aren't going well at home or work. Maybe there's sickness or we're worried about our kids, our finances. We get our feelings hurt, or we feel ignored, not appreciated. There are so many reasons that can cause spiritual dryness, but we don't have to walk around dry--looking for something, anything that will quench that thirst. God promises to quench our thirst, when we seek Him & lay it all out for Him, He pours it on us--He lathers our souls so that we're not walking around dry. How wonderful is that!! I love it--He gives me/us hope!! And that hope is available, it's steady & ready for all of us at anytime!! So if you think you might be feeling a little dry or if you know your right in the middle of a big old desert--go to Him today & let Him quench that thirst. So that as soon as He starts pouring Himself out you'll be able to throw your head back, lift your arms high & just say, "AAAHHHH!!!"
Psalm 63:1,3&4- You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you: I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry & parched land where there is no water.
Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live, & in your name I will lift up my hands.
